The model allows you ask for vector output at a higher subgrid level than the variable allows. It does weird things when this happens and the output is not useful.
An example of this is TLAKE which is available on the column level (so not on the patch level):
This not defined since you are asking for finer subgrid scale output than is available for the variable. It doesn't die with a graceful error it only does something wrong.
Some discussion on this was in #77 as for example here:
