OpenSSL does that automatically. What you'd really need to do is to check for
critical CRL extensions in the verify callback when you get that error. If IDP
is the only critical extension present *and* if it is empty (length 2) you can
safely ignore that error.

It would be better if the CA fixed their certificates though: I'd regard
issuing a critical empty IDP extension as broken.
