Yes, don't lace radial if the manual says so... seems pretty obvious. You invalidate the warranty.
If you don't care about the warranty then you can take a punt, just keep the tension within reason (800-900N at the very top) and inspect frequently for cracks.
PS: a crack will always develop perpendicular to the load (90 degrees to the spoke)
