Trunk allowed VLAN mismatch

Say I have two switches, with 2 trunked ports between them.  Gi1/0/1 and Gi1/0/2 on SW1, and Gi1/0/1 and Gi1/0/2 on SW2.  Both trunks allow VLANs 1, 2, 3, and 4.  I want to add VLAN 5.  I create VLAN5 and am ready to add it to the allowed VLANs on the trunk.  I run this command on the ports on SW1, but not yet on SW2:

 

switchport trunk allowed vlan add 5

 

This would create a temporary VLAN mismatch, since VLAN5 is not yet allowed on trunked ports on SW2.  Here is my question:

 

Would this VLAN mismatch bring down the connection between SW1 and SW2?

OR

Would this simply not permit VLAN5 until all configs are set?

The frame with VLAN 5 will be simply dropped by the switch with VLAN not yet configured.
