I am thinking that they wouldn’t define that as a broken package, since I would consider that a bug that would need to be addressed in the next release. I would expect a broken package not to be able to run rather than simply to have a broken function.
In normal repos they also test their packages. I do not think it is possible in any distribution repo to ship a binary which did not compile.
Dynamic library linking may have some problems I guess, but unless you’re using arch that is generally never a real problem with package manager installations.
I have never got a package which plain does not run.
