It appears PROTO_CLIENT is a placeholder for an uninitialized entry in the client config list. Can you post the config for this failure.
As for aborting, critical is not the same as fatal. In fact, major is worse than critical, and fatal is worse than major. In general, we don't abort on config errors for things that can be updated at runtime, such as exports or clients, since people with long-running instances don't want it to abort when config is updated, but would rather get an error that they can fix and retry, without cutting off existing connections.
