This *is* a strange error. There are indeed some small
incompatibilities between versions, but they do not normally cause such
problems. Do I understand correctly that you're using a schema from
2.3.0 on the server and ovs-vsctl from tip of master as the client? If
so, then I'll investigate; really there should be no significant
difference between these two versions.
I'd rather fix the problem than document it.

OK, I understand your use case now, but that that is the intended use
case is not obvious to me from the documentation. Would you mind adding
some text to describe that?
