Passing an invalid value to id results in qemu-system-amd64: -readconfig test.config: Parameter 'id' expects an identifier Identifiers consist of letters, digits, '-', '.', '_', starting with a letter. so perhaps a missing value should cause a similar error?

PS: Where's the documentation for -readconfig?
