The "Uncorrectable error" messages are bizarre, in this context.
I think they are simply wrong and it should have printed something like
Forcing due to --deliberately-include-questionable-history
The code is in dgit-repos-policy-debian near line 480. It appears
never to set the variable $ovstatus which is used (only) to prepare
the message.
So this is a cosmetic bug, albeit one that produces possibly-alarming
output.
Ian.
