I vote to not support invalid CIF files.
Some documentation on our site that we could point users to in defense of this position would be a nice compromise. If it's just the inclusion of "data_" for example at the top of a file, users can figure out how to insert that prior to their naughty program getting upgraded.

is pretty clear on this (data_ required):
Q: What should our stance be on the support of invalid .cif files?
Q: The iucr wants people to refuse to read them in order to encourage companies to be compliant ... should we support their position?
