I can accept either behaviour
(though the former is more useful); it's the fact that I get both that's
unwelcome.

But each of those behaviors is consistently encountered every time the query is run so there isn't any hidden danger involved here; compared to if the error only occurred if certain data was encountered during execution.  As Tom said, while a bit inconcsistent the effort to fix outweighs the the fact there is no actual problem, just an unexpected dependency on the written query.
