This will cause a hard failure in pod2man and pod2text by default, since
they do not generate ERRORS sections by default (you have to request that
behavior with a flag).  They used to generate ERRORS sections, which made
people very unhappy because they didn't want their documents published
with sections saying the documents were bad, and after a lot of previous
discussion I changed the default to fail on generation.  (I'd really
rather not reverse that decision at this point.)
