It is controller specific. Intel and NVidia controllers just return error immediately, as they should, and continue operation.

I've tried to handle this situation, but haven't found a good way. But it is possible to just avoid this situation. As soon as CAM will any way need to tell SIM ATAPI CDB length supported by device, it will be easy for SIM to not send ATAPI commands to ATA devices. I am going to do it, as soon as more important things will stabilize. -- Alexander Motin
