Is it expected that everyday Wikidata editors will know they should bypass that 
warning, and how to do it? That warning stopped me in my tracks.

You can bypass that warning by hitting "publish" again (warnings generated from 
edit filters can always be bypassed by attempting to do the edit again). That 
error message is coming from
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter/13
which doesn't seem to handle unknown value properly.

Note that all edits where that warning was ignored can be seen at 
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges?tagfilter=Unexpected+value+for+gender
