It won't make them invalid, as Paul points out they'd still be there for
backwards compatibility.  And one would hope that deployed software will get
updated to use the standard OIDs once they appear in an updated draft.

(Open)PGP is already a Ripley's Believe-it-or-Not Odditorium of oddball stuff
that nothing else uses, the use of nonstandard OIDs is something we can at
least fix at the current draft stage before it becomes an RFC.
