Taking these two reserved bits under the crypto umbrella is a strong brake for future (post-v1) experiments in the area of on-path measurement. Indeed, it may be useful to set up asymmetric experiments where only the server puts some path-observable data in these bits (e.g. loss bits), allowing unexpensive, massive field tests with unmodified clients. That's not possible if (1) the bits are encrypted or (2) the client rejects any nonzero value.
