What problem will that cause?

The first nibble of the BIER header does not have to have a value taken 
from the IP version number registry.

Note though that when PW started using 0 and 1 in the first nibble, it 
was not already a widely deployed protocol.  I'd say it was a mistake to 
reserve 0 and 1 in the IP version number registry, as those reservations 
have no practical impact, and just cause a lot of unproductive 
discussions to take place.
