I see no conflict.

A domain with DMARC enforcement asserts that it sends only authenticated
messages.   Since multiple-From messages cannot be fully authenticated,
such messages are inconsistent with the domain owner's stated practices
Therefore, the domain owner's published Failure disposition recommendation
is applicable.

For all messages, the evaluator has no obligation to accept or reject any
message, and can do so based on any criteria that suits his purposes.
 There is nothing in RFC5322 that requires a message to pass
authentication.   Any decision to reject a message based on lack of
authentication becomes a matter of local policy.
