Without promoting a BOZ to a basic type (ie a BT_BOZ), changing
the error into a warning requires too much work.

A fair point. I don't think I'm leaning towards it enough to do the work just for that, but maybe once we do get such a type (which I'm pretty sure we'll need eventually), it's worth reconsidering.
