Hmm. The spec says [1]
"The select expression is only evaluated when its actual value is
needed by an instance of the step type being declared."
That puts a pretty substantial burden on an implementation! Did we
really mean to say that???!!!! But given it says that, the answer to
your question is "no, no error, since the 'notUsed' option is never
needed by any instance of the step".
Our gun, our foot, our bullet :-(.
