RFC 6733 says that certain 5xxx result codes must be accompanied by
Failed-AVP, and decode populates #diameter_packet.errors with
Result-Code/AVP pairs for errors it detects. However, Failed-AVP was not
set in the outgoing answer if the handle_request callback returned
{answer_message, 5xxx}. It is now set with the AVP from the first pair
with the specified Result-Code, if found.
Note that {answer_message, 5xxx} doesn't handle all cases in which a
5xxx answer is required, only that in which the setting above is
appropriate. If it isn't then handle_request should construct its answer
and return {reply, Ans}.

Invalid lengths come in two flavours: ones that correctly point at the
end of an AVP's payload but don't agree with its type, and ones that
point elsewhere. The former are relatively harmless but the latter leave
no way to recover AVP boundaries, which typically results in failure to
decode subsequent AVP's in the message in question.
In the case that AVP Length points past the end of the message, diameter
incorrectly regarded the error as 5009, INVALID_AVP_BITS: not right
since the error has nothing to do with AVP Flags. Ditto if the length
was less than 8, a minimal header length. Only in the remaining case was
the detected error 5014, INVALID_AVP_LENGTH. However, in this case it
slavishly followed RFC 3588 in suggesting the undecodable AVP as
Failed-AVP, thereby passing the woeful payload back to the sender to
have equal difficulty decoding. Now follow RFC 6733 and suggest an AVP
with a zero-filled payload.
