In fact it's these situations that were the basis for me not to want to return an error by the sandbox if it detects invalid accesses. The developer/user should just be notified of the presence. If the installer of the package doesn't consider it as a fatal error, but simple as a notification of the state of the system, the merge should simply proceed imho. I could add something which makes it possible to notify to sandbox of predicted/expected failures, which in their turn are then not printed to the regular user.
