The problem is that image data and timestamp might be ok but some arbitrary 
other filed got broken. For the sake of the argument let's assume there is a 
whitepoint field somewhere in the makernotes that exiv2 doesn't know about yet 
(quite likely) and that someday gets supported (wishful thinking on my part). 
Once we have such information we will surely use it in the future to decode 
the raw files instead of shipping hard coded values for every camera. That 
might not happen anytime soon, but maybe in a year, two or three. However, 
once we do that your images will have wrong data in that field, making the 
files 
impossible to read with any version of darktable from that point in time on. 
And as Roman said, we will definitely not add any hacks to our code to 
supported such broken files.
