If by "handled", you also mean "ignored." 

I have no problem submitting this job on my system (z/OS 1.4): 

//DPC088IF JOB (DPC088,JDG),'IEFBR14',CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=X, 
//         MSGLEVEL=(1,1),NOTIFY=DPC088 TYPRUN=HOLD       
//    EXEC PGM=IEFBR14                                    
//SYSPRINT  DD SYSOUT=*                                   
//SYSOUT    DD SYSOUT=*                                   
//DD1       DD DSN=DPC088.ACS.LIST,                       
//             DISP=(NEW,CATLG),

//             UNIT=FOOBAR                                

I can assure you that I do not have a unit called "FOOBAR" in the HCD, nor
does the ACS routine check for a &UNIT value of "FOOBAR".  Because the data
set name will be assigned a STORCLAS, the data set is SMS-managed and the
UNIT makes no difference. 

If I add "VOL=SER=SYS400" to the DD, then the job gets a JCL error on the
UNIT specified because SYS400 is not an SMS-managed volume.  If I add
"VOL=SER=PROD01" to the DD (which is an SMS-managed volume), my data set is
allocated into an SMS-managed volume, though not PROD01.

My understanding is you can allow a unit to be coded in UNIT=unit which is
not defined to HCD but only handled by SMS.
