It makes sense to treat it as an error but the ISO standard is too vague on this and the libpng developers never "fixed" this[1], it issues a warning but otherwise just masks off the high bits. Firefox has a workaround[2][3], Chrome doesn't. FWIW I do the same in my library[4], handling it as an error is problematic because it would mean the chunk gets discarded and then you can't even retrieve the values.
