Yes. The provided operation is "convert a bitstring of up to 32 bits to an integer". It's not "guess whether it's okay to throw away some bits to make an integer".
IME The error message itself is to blame here - we are checking for a malformed (too many characters) integer varbit representation but then reporting that the we somehow got a valid integer but that it is "out of range".
A better reply would be good. Another possibility is for the parser to remove unneeded leading zeros.
