This just seems to me to be an inappropriate change of RFC 2119 language. If we really mean either of these, then we should be specifying that the message is encrypted in the first place.
What we probably mean is something informative (because we cannot make a normative statement on what applications do with the data), stating that usage of the message so tagged is inappropriate because the sender did not intend it to be used for this purpose.
