We want user records to be extensible, hence we shouldn't complain about fields we can't parse. In particular we want them to be extensible for our own future extensions. Some code already turned the permissive flag when parsing the JSON data, but most did not. Fix that. A few select cases remain where the bit is not set: where we just gnerated the JSON data ourselves, and thus can be reasonably sure that if we can't parse it it's our immediate programming error and not just us processing a user record from some other tool or a newer version of ourselves.
