The Bad Src Port error is listed on page 96 as a local (hop/hop) error
that is not reported but is logged locally.  This logging is
implementation-specific and therefore no code is specified.

The Bad Src Port error can be detected on a single Path or Resv
message.  Note that if one node along the path reported this error, all
nodes would report it, resulting in an implosion of error messages.
The other two cases on page 48 can result from merging of otherwise
individually-correct messages, so these cases are reported via error
codes.

(At least, I *think* that was the arguement.)
