"Be liberal in what you accept, and conservative in what you send",
Since the sending node obviously violated the 2nd part of Jon Postel's
robustness principle, it should be ignored and dropped by the receiving
system.
Moreover, report the failure to the vendor of the broken implementation
or fix it by yourself if possible ;-)
