You know, that works as well. From the client's perspective, the token
isn't good anymore. The client shouldn't care if the token was good in
the first place if it's revoking it.

I'm not imagining a client doing anything programmatically useful
with the distinction.

pattern of a token= parameter, but since the whole point of the
introspection endpoint is determining token validity it doesn't
actually throw an error here.

Hm, I see what you're saying, but the error response is already
endpoint specific. Though there is value in not having conflicting
and/or confusing responses from different endpoints that use the same
error code for different things.
What it really comes down to is: what can the client do with this
error? Could it do something with invalid_parameter that it couldn't
do with invalid_token_parameter (among others), or vice versa? As I'm
writing this out, I'm not convinced that it could, really, so this
may be a bike shedding argument.
