We would love to see a PR from you. I agree that this should be a pretty simple fix. The error gets raised here I believe:
https://github.com/pydata/xarray/blob/master/xarray/backends/api.py#L565-L566

As is often the case, creating a test for this will probably be harder than resolving the issue itself!

I assume that wouldn’t be too difficult, right?
