I guess that we've all seen them - a bright tail light & dim stop lamp. All because the car owner has forced a 21/5w bayonet bulb in the wrong way!
What is the correct fail criterior for this situation ?

I'd say one light adversely affected by the operation of another - ie. with the sidelights on, the dimmer brake light would not be visable. Get these all the time, and the one where a single element bulb is fitted into a twin element stop/tail fitting - the giveaway is the front sidelights come on when the car is driven on the ramp and the brakes applied.
Change/swap the bulbs but dont forget to add it as a RFR/PRS - everything helps the stats.

It is an awkward one to find the failure criterior for. "Stop lamp remains on when all brakes are released" could be used, but the question may be raised that is it actually a stop lamp if it is controlled by the side light switch and not the brake pedal. "Adversely affected by the operation of another lamp" is one that should be used. When the side/tail lights are on, it is not possible to see the 5w 'brake lamp' illuminating because it is being overpowered by the 21w 'tail light'. As baz657 says, turn the bulb around & issue a PRS. Also ridicule the customer, by asking what idiot forced the bulb incorrectly ;D Take care, though. Some of them are jammed in so tight, the glass ends up breaking to get them out...
