For a generic event i agree, bit seems to me without active CRTC no way you
can  expect PAGE_FLIP_EVENT to fire.

Seems to me you still would try to avoid a bad configuration, returning 
error
will help debugging for user who made a mistake. I also see something 
similar
in drm_mode_atomic_ioctl around line 2122 -

/* can't test and expect an event at the same time. */
if ((arg->flags & DRM_MODE_ATOMIC_TEST_ONLY) &&
(arg->flags & DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_EVENT))
return -EINVAL;
