Ah, so it was actually your previous post and the discussion that I
remembered. Already wondered about that. :) I'm fairly positive this
topic came up exactly once.

Yup, that fails indeed. :/ And I'm fairly sure I see why.
In a previous post I included the relevant lines, why *spamassassin*
lint would not fail. sa-update does, however. In another post to this
thread you pointed out the issue eloquently:

And indeed sa-update appears to lint -- though ONLY the updated channel,
and the updated channel only. It loads site rules .pre files. It does
NOT do a full configure as spamassassin --lint does.
You can see this easily by running 'sa-update -D'. I guess that's a
bug-let, or at least a not-documented(?) limitation... Update channels
can not *modify* score rules outside its own scope.
