A friend of mine (Deiby Gómez) pointed me to an interesting article on MOS 1956103.1 -
Warning: standby redo logs not configured for thread on db_unique_name/db_unique_name.
It essentially describes the same issue I described in
Don't trust the lying (Data Guard) broker - the newly created SRLs are not assigned to a particular thread and the VALIDATE command does not like it, although the standby is perfectly happy and will grab the SRLs as necessary, as it always did before 12c.
The Metalink note adds a solution - to assign the the SRLs to the threads manually during creation. The syntax is

alter database add standby logfile thread 1 group 1 'file spec' size ....
This thus disables the auto-assign to the thread that needs it, but that should not matter. We usually size all the threads uniformly and assign enough SRLs to all of them, in other words we expect even distribution of SRLs to threads. Thus doing it manually is not a bad thing.
