It's simply a matter of whether the server can do what the client
asked of it.  In order to answer 2xx to a PUT, the server needs to
have set the state of the identified resource to that represented by
the entity body in the request.
As the extension in question is part
of what the client is asking to be stored, the server can only ignore
it if it knows it to be a no-op,

The server can ignore it if it doesn't know about that particular
piece of foreign markup, see RFC 4287, Section 6.3:

"""When unknown foreign markup is encountered as a child of atom:entry,
  atom:feed, or a Person construct, Atom Processors MAY bypass the
  markup and any textual content and MUST NOT change their behavior as
  a result of the markup's presence.
