It is exactly the problem.
Inactive timestamps are not allowed in SCHEDULED/DEADLINE.

Only internals changed. Previously, agenda used a dumb regexp search
using this failing regexp (and skipped your problematic entry
completely). Now, we first query parser cache, which considers your
"someentry" as :scheduled. But agenda expects scheduled items to use
active timestamps all the time, causing the error.

We should update the parser to treat such malformed SCHEDULED/DEADLINE
lines as ordinary paragraphs and report them in org-lint.
