$ sudo btrfs property set test compression zstd:1
$ sudo btrfs property get test
compression=zstd:1
$ sudo btrfs property set test compression zstd:f
$ sudo btrfs property get test
compression=zstd:f

It's allowing the arbitrary setting of compression values. This is with btrfs-progs 6.0. Progs is being too permissive, it shouldn't silently set invalid values. But then even with valid values, I'm pretty sure right now the kernel ignores the compression properties.
