Yes, I'm stating that the spec is incorrect here and should be corrected.

In all the other cases when we have competing value extractors, we throw an
error. Why not in this case?

Typically, you would have your constraints applied on the container
elements, then you add another value extractor, and your constraints are
then applied silently to the container instead of the container elements.
That sounds like the wrong approach.
