A typical example of what I am talking about here is something like a web application server, where you have a "development" mode and a "production" mode. In the development mode, you want to find errors as quickly as possible, so you enable strict formatting. In production, however, you want the server to be as fault-tolerant as possible, so you would enable lenient mode.
This seems misguided. There's a difference between being fault-tolerant and being bug-tolerant. I don't think that ignoring symptoms of bugs and going on to produce incorrect results is any more acceptable in a production web server as it would be in any other environment.
