I don't think the option should have anything to do with postfix operators specifically, but be more general like --dump-incompatible-objects vs. --omit-incompatible-objects vs. --error-on-incompatible-objects vs. --do-your-best-to-fixup-incompatible-objects, with one of those being the default (and with all of them having better names). If --error-on-incompatible-objects were the default, that would behave as Robert recommended upthread.
