[New-bugs-announce] [issue24956] Default value for an argument that is not in the choices list gets accepted

[Sworddragon]

New submission from Sworddragon:

Normally if a value to an argument is passed that is not in the choices list an error like "test.py: error: argument --test: invalid choice: 'c' (choose from 'a', 'b')" is shown. But if the default is set to an invalid choice no error is shown.
