@jbusecke -

... would it be possible to implement a check for such errors that displays a warning?

In your case, what would that have looked like? Many users have actually requested that xarray provide a more streamlined reader function that does less checking. Perhaps it would have been useful for you to have xarray raise an error when it encountered files that weren't consistent (either in the variable, dimensions, or coordinates)?
