From my perspective having a message have a valid signature with one

incompatibility. I don't think that's speculation. I think it's the clear and obvious result of trying to reconstruct the original content and seeing
if a valid signature can be extracted based on a process not specified.

No, it merely reflects a difference of opinion by the sites concerned as to what changes it will tolerate in a message before it recommends to its clients that the message should be dropped. It is not the job of our standard to dictate local policy issues at that level of detail.
