That's exactly what the navier stokes paper posted yesterday pointed out where the LLM bends the Lean code to make it "compile", because the NL might be wrong to begin with or because it missed a detail:

For complex / tedious proofs I can easily see how small details like this can lead to a valid lean proof (or valid "code"), but missing the important details that got lost.
