We currently treat any key which isn't settable as "unknown". Maybe we should report it as "invalid" instead? Or we could have a list of known and deprecated keys, and tailor the warning appropriately. In this specific case, without the union-type setting, the chroot most likely isn't a source chroot, and hence there is not means to set that key on that particular chroot instance (it entirely lacks the logic, the chroot_facet_source_clonable facet), so is completely unaware that it's valid in other contexts.
