The NBD protocol says that clients should not send a command flag that has not been negotiated (whether by the client requesting an option during a handshake, or because we advertise support for the flag in response to NBD_OPT_EXPORT_NAME), and that servers should reject invalid flags with EINVAL. We were silently ignoring the flags instead. The client can't rely on our behavior, since it is their fault for passing the bad flag in the first place, but it's better to be robust up front than to possibly behave differently than the client was expecting with the attempted flag.
