I suspect that since the purpose of udev is to create devices, it's reasonable for it to consider itself having failed if it can't create devices. Opening a bug against udev would let us have that conversation so I do think that is reasonable, I just don't much doubt how it will be resolved. But I could obviously be wrong.
