I'm not sure what's the use case for this, but apparently it broke some apps.
Since it was not the intended result from #16210 I fixed it to not raise an
exception anymore. However, I didn't add documentation for it because I don't
know if this should be officially supported without knowing how it's meant to
be used.

In general, validations should be side-effect-free (other than adding to the
error message to `@errors`). Order-dependent validations seems like a bad idea.

Fixes #18002
