Yes, the payload (with errors) is passed even if ok is False.

It's so that the transmitter doesn't drive the receiver's front end
into a seriously non-linear zone.  The Flex 400 Tx section will put
out about 100 mW, which is enough to cause intermodulation distortion
(IMD) on most receivers if they're close by.  For demos using amateur
handhelds as receivers, we've replaced the transmit antenna on the
Flex 400 (oops, that's the daughterboard formerly known as the Flex
400) with a 50 ohm load to avoid the problem.

Bottom line, it's the non-ideal analog stuff ;)
