ORA-XQ-099-C: does a pragma containing a must-understand extension get flagged?

SECTION 2.6.6.1: XQuery flagger

First para, last sentence: "If the XQuery Flagger is enabled,
a static error .. is raised if the query contains a must-understand
extension."  
Assuming that a pragma can contain a must-know extension
(a possibility raised in another comment),
what are the consequences for flagging?  Normally an implementation
is free to ignore a pragma if it does not support it, so
an XQuery expression that contains a pragma that contains a
must-understand extension should run on any implementation, and
there is no reason to flag it.  But this sentence says that it
should be flagged.
