If the standard says use a certain format and the server has an inconsistency, then returning an error is the right thing to do. It seems harsh but is defined that way. I would assume a mixed directory might be rare but even so, if this is not the behaviour wanted, then the standard needs to be augmented... or at least added to a documented that augments/explains the issue/options/behaviour.
