GO32 has the code in place. The problem is that GO32 is compiled with the -1 option to generate 186+ instructions. It should give the correct error message on a 286, but will not work on a 8088 without a GO32 recompile. We were just discussing if this even needed to be fixed for V2.0 since noone had noticed it :-) I would guess you think so.
