In many ways having the compiler or assembler spitting out an error here is

As usual, an error is incorrect in such a case that only has undefined
behavior at runtime (but it may be compiled into an abort if the behavior
is unconditionally undefined, and the abort doesn't replace anything
before the undefined behavior that might have stopped the undefined
behavior from occurring).
You are, of course, correct. We can't error here, but we can generate a
conditional warning.
