Yes, you are right, but consider the invalid stream identifier's DATA 
chunk is the first
DATA chunk in the association which will need SACK immediately.
Here is what I thought of the scenario:
     sctp_sf_eat_data_6_2()
         -->sctp_eat_data()
             -->sctp_make_op_error()
             -->sctp_add_cmd_sf(commands, SCTP_CMD_REPLY, SCTP_CHUNK(err))
             -->sctp_outq_tail()          /* First enqueue ERROR chunk */
         -->sctp_add_cmd_sf(commands, SCTP_CMD_GEN_SACK, SCTP_FORCE())
             -->sctp_gen_sack()
                 -->sctp_make_sack()
                 -->sctp_add_cmd_sf(commands, SCTP_CMD_REPLY, 
SCTP_CHUNK(sack))
                 -->sctp_outq_tail()          /* Then enqueue SACK chunk */

So SACK chunk is enqueued after ERROR chunk.

Actually it's triggered by a customer's test case, but we can also 
reproduce this problem
easily by explicitly contaminating the sctp stack:
--- a/net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c
+++ b/net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c
@@ -701,7 +701,7 @@ struct sctp_chunk *sctp_make_datafrag_empty(struct 
sctp_association *asoc,
          * creating the chunk.
          */
         dp.tsn = 0;
-       dp.stream = htons(sinfo->sinfo_stream);
+       dp.stream = htons(sinfo->sinfo_stream) + 10;
         dp.ppid   = sinfo->sinfo_ppid;

         /* Set the flags for an unordered send.  */

Then run sctp_darn application and capture the sctp packet at the same time.
