"beyond the scope of the DHCP protocol" != "incompatible with correct operation of DHCP".

In fact, this section 4.3.1 explicitly notes that "... it may be
the case that the DHCP client should be assigned an address from
a different subnet than the address recorded in 'giaddr'".

This is exactly my case.
