Policy violations - v201710 vs 201706

[Peter Lanser]

Hi, we are currently migrating from Adwords API v201710 to v201806 and we 
are observing an issue regarding policy violations / excemption requests.

Part of our test suite is the creation of an (expanded) text ad triggering 
a PolicyViolationError. Everything is fine with v201710 - we are expecting 
this error (and creating an excemption request later).

                            <violatingText>Rifle</violatingText>
                        </key>
                        <externalPolicyName>Google 
AdWords</externalPolicyName>
                        <externalPolicyUrl/>
                        <externalPolicyDescription>This ad or keyword 
requires review before it can run.</externalPolicyDescription>
                        <isExemptable>true</isExemptable>
                        ...
                    </errors>
                </ApiExceptionFault>
            </detail>
        </soap:Fault>
    </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

However, the error is not triggered when using v201806. The expected error 
is not triggered:

[DEBUG]

SOAP response:

            <rval>

                <value>
                    ...
                    <ad 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; 
xsi:type="ExpandedTextAd">
                        ...
                    </ad>
                    <status>PAUSED</status>
                    <policySummary>
                        <reviewState>REVIEW_IN_PROGRESS</reviewState>
                        
<combinedApprovalStatus>UNDER_REVIEW</combinedApprovalStatus>
                    </policySummary>
                </value>
            </rval>
        </mutateResponse>
    </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

We are aware that there are some changes concerning policy violations as 
mentioned in 
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/release-notes/v201806#policy
 
and 
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/exemption-requests.
However, we wouldn't have expected that no error is triggered at all.

Are we missing something? Why isn't the policy error triggered when using 
v201806?

Thanks for your help,
Peter
