This is maybe a personal take but I expect "bad" to either mean:
* Allowed but not ideal, like a "bad" memory alignment might work but it is slow.
* The tool won't allow it but is going to tell me why it didn't.

The current error doesn't elaborate so I think it's best we just say "unsupported" instead. This is clear that the type used is not allowed at all.
