We have changed this to:

When out-of-range color or opacity values are provided, the user
agent should defer any error checking until after presentation time, [...]

Note that it is now a "should", instead of a "shall".

User agents should clamp color values to the nearest color value [...] 
which the system should process as late as possible [...].

We hope that this resolves your issues.  Obviously, you will have an 
opportunity to review this section in the upcoming Last Call period.
