It isn't hard to test this yourself. Just create a directory under 
webapps and add a META-INF/context.xml file with invalid content. Then 
see what the Manager app shows you.

http://localhost:8080/manager/text/list

OK - Listed applications for virtual host [localhost]
/:running:0:ROOT
/examples:running:0:examples
/host-manager:running:0:host-manager
/test:stopped:0:test
/manager:running:0:manager
/docs:running:0:docs

http://localhost:8080/manager/status/all?JSON=true

Hmm. Invalid JSON. Looks like we have a bug. I'll take a look.
