I don’t know. “pkeyutl -engine pkcs11 -keyform engine -derive -inkey
id_03" does not work the way it’s supposed to. To me it usually means a
bug. Another supporting reason - no interface or parameters/arguments
would change, only the internal behavior would be adjusted, resulting in
actually succeeding with a crypto operation rather than returning an error.

But regardless, I hope the team would consider the complexity (or
simplicity :) of the proposed change and the benefits from it. After all,
we’re not lawyers, and (hopefully :) we all want to make/keep this tool as
useful as possible to as many users as feasible (as far as we can :). So
since this change doesn’t require moving heaven and earth (AFAICT),
perhaps the team would consider it.
