You are correct. " rouser foo noauth  system" works.

Is there a snmplib function that I can use in my front-end that can
validate the given oid in the same manner that the agent would in the
context of v3 users? Unfortunately snmp_parse_oid() will parse correctly
oids like "iso", "org" whereas agent throws error.

Not quite.
The v4 UCD library interpreted non-fully-qualified OIDs
as being relative to 'mib2'  (I think).   So I suspect
that something like

        rouser foo noauth  system

would probably work.

But for safety, it's best to fully qualify everything.
Either as a full OID starting with '.',
or using the "MIB::name" syntax.

(Though numeric OIDs are safer still, as this doesn't
rely on the MIB files being present at all).
