If the LID is given, my code does the right thing by redirecting
regardless
of any GID, as the spec requires. If no LID is given, but a GID is, my
code
bails with an error stating that GID-based redirection is not supported.
If
both GID and LID are 0, that's an error and my code bails with an error
message (which may or may not be misleading depending on your perspective,
but frankly I couldn't care less about broken agents).
Which of those three reactions do you think is insufficient?

Is that an ACK? ;)
