I understood it that way, that the fix were postponed only.
        Quoting Vincent:
                "Then, if we succeed to quickly release the next major release 
we can
                 error out on BibTeX errors as we do now."
May I understand version 2.2 as major?

I vote for error out, if there is error in compiling.

Maybe some document option
                Output -> Default Output Format:
                Output -> Synchronize with Output
new     Output -> Ignore errors if export file created
                Output Options -> XHTML Output Options


or new
                Bibliography -> Bibliography generation -> Ignore errors
