Today I did some experiments with the official Local Group Policy Editor to determine how Policy Plus should respond to problems with the ADMX complement. The LGPE rejects an ADMX as soon as it sees a duplicate ADMX namespace, while Policy Plus currently waits to fail until a policy object is duplicated. I think that's OK even though it might lead to some strange behavior; being more forgiving than the LGPE can't hurt as long as there's a warning that something bizarre might be going on. Policy Plus should definitely not fail the entire workspace's load when it hits this problem, though.
When it comes to missing ADML files, the LGPE fails the load of the corresponding ADMX. (Again, Policy Plus currently fails the entire workspace.) I think ignoring that one ADMX is reasonable; trying to continue using the display codes as the text would work for simple policies, but without the ADML, there's no way to arrange the presentations of extra options.
