You are not breaking spec compliance, you are breaking compliance with some players. Of course those players should be fixed. But old behavior of mkvtoolnix was spec compliant too and it wasn't causing any problems.
Also, current behavior is unexpected and limiting. Specs don't say you shouldn't write "eng" value. Those defaults are for playback applications, not for muxers. It can be changed to "und" at any time (and that would be reasonable).
