Can "other element would receive the click" become an error?

[schnittchen]

I'm seeing this:

10:04:35.621 [warn] unknown error: Element <button class="js-button" style="">...</button> is not clickable at point (163, 275). Other element would receive the click:

I cannot imagine a situation where this should not be considered a failure of the test, but I might be wrong.

Would it be possible to treat this condition as an error (potentially behind a switch)?
