Your definition of broken is a little off. I would think the broken
implementation is the one that misunderstood the definition.
"reserved"
as i have been enlightened privately has been clearly defined at
IETF

A citation here (from anyone) would be really helpful. This is also my
understanding, but I have no idea why I think so, and would prefer to
continue the discussion knowing whether we've actually written this
down, or whether this is a commonly held belief resulting from being
conservative in what you send and liberal in what you accept.

as:
a) Must be set to zero on transmission
b) Should be ignored upon reception.
