I was expecting
ORA-01402: view WITH CHECK OPTION where-clause violation
for the second one. Is there anything I am missing here ?

Thank you very much for the update to this old question
After reading the link I think I should ignore this error and accept it as ORA-01402
The information you asked me to check did not lead me an understanding of different error types.
