MIME default action for headers that are not understood 
is to ignore the headers. So it is not a MIME related error
if there are extra headers.

What other kinds of error does the MSH report on? 
Is another error category code available for this?

I think it should at most be a "warning"
at some level of semantics checking, 
and even then, you
should be able to configure the 
software not to send the warning!
(to avoid useless traffic over the
long run)
