How would you like Vendor X to liberally handle the situation? There is a point when being too liberal causes issue - like this one. The idea is that if the original peer followed the spec it would of been contained at the source and this would of never happened. Where is the line? Something about GIGO comes to mind.
I would prefer implementations (not vendors) reject the one router which they don't like, and accept the other 100,000+ routes in the global Internet without flapping BGP sessions. Killing 100,000 routes because you don't like one seems a bit excessive.
