It's an error. It will lead to troubles.
Well at most you could say it's error-prone, something that is easier to
argue. The problem is that forcing it into an error makes quite a number
of valid uses impossible. An example is a logging application that
provides you a number of pieces of information (date, time, message,
etc.) and you get to specify how they should be formatted. Oftentimes
you'd choose to ignore some data.
