The standard says nothing (AFAICT) about a situation when the extent
reported in GetCapabilities is wrong (differ from layer extent). It is
simply server side problem IMO.

Definitely we are not going to support such a case because that would
mean to always request full current extent even if we are outside
(according to GetCapabilities) the layer extent.
