The full sentence is:

187           The script name argument MUST be a constant string as
188           defined in <xref target='RFC5229'>VARIABLES</xref>, Section 3;
189           implementations MUST NOT allow variable expansion in the script
190           name argument.

I believe that this is sufficient, bordering on repeating itself.

When an implementation (of this proposed standard) supporting RFC5229
encounters a non-constant string, what behaviour is expected?

I agree; I see no reason to change that text.

Which perhaps explains the poor quality of recent output of this
working group...
