can coqc generate all well formed .vo?

i was told that the .vo format was made simple on purpose so anyone can write 
and audit his own relatively short .vo verifier.

loosely speaking, i expect every well formed .vo to have a .v preimage.

is coqc expected to compile all .v preimages that result in a well formed .vo 
(a well formed .vo is one which coqchk accepts).

i am bit concerned because coqc told me "anomaly ... report" on code that i 
would expect to pass or give more informative message.

on the related question, "can coqc generate non well formed .vo" i would bet 
a beer because i have reproducible testcase the answer is true.
