I know.

But I have massive queue (in thousands and tens of
thousands) of automatically detectable issues which are not reported by
mainstream validators, require fixes and fix requires review or
complete manual cleanup.

And alternative here to a bot edit is a semi-manual or manual edit
which only adds drudgery.

So blocking that bot edit would not be resulting in more improvements
overall, it would just force me to do manually what should be a bot edit,
leaving less time for issues where human attention is more useful.

remaining problems would be detected by other filters (and looks like an effect
of a broken import)

surface tag would be removed, what would reveal problem with this object
in standard QA tools

as I already have seen this object I deleted it

I do not plan to do anything with width and length tags, and would not notice 
this problem anyway

I case of manual mapping I would fix it in separate edits anyway
