Nick Coghlan added the comment:

I vaguely recall discussing that change, and my recollection is that it was
deliberate in order to evict improperly configured modules - we didn't
count it as a significant compatibility break because it solely affected an
error handling path.

I guess we never thought to check if the old misbehaviour was formally
documented.
