I'd say it's a requirement to not cover up critical/important content in the video that must be read/seen. However, there's also a more advisory level item to place the caption in a location that doesn't block other aspects of the video. Practically speaking this may be more difficult. So it's always helpful to provide information to the user to overcome these issues when they were not done properly.
