You have a *right* to consider this a syntax error if you like.
But whether that is a good thing to do or not depends on your goals.
If you are writing a certification tool it may well be. If you are
writing a product whose goal is to maximize interoperation then it is
probably not the best choice.
In your example, that part of the via header is not operationally
important to you. You might be better off to ignore the error. The
server that sees it as the top Via can deal with the problem.
