See below.

I didn't know about that mode, but yes, I don't think it is reasonable
to have that mode enabled when it will certainly fail (preventing the
user from visiting/saving a file/buffer).
Also, I'd say that, whenever the encryption/decryption fails (for any
reason), it should never prevent the user from visiting/saving a file.
Instead, in that case the operation should proceed as if no
encryption/decryption was requested, showing a warning in the echo
area.
