Whilst exporting a full export from the site's admin pages seems to produce a directory of valid config files, doing a drush @badev cex raises an UnsupportedDataTypeConfigException as follows: 

@Iains-MBP BABuild]$ drush status

If it's really drush, then you should report this in the Drush issue queue on github.

Will be fixed by #2267039: UnsupportedDataTypeConfigException doesn't say which config file the problem is

Actually, it will tell us what file it will be, not necessarily fix the import.

Version: 8.1.x-dev » 8.2.x-dev

Drupal 8.1.0-beta1 was released on March 2, 2016, which means new developments and disruptive changes should now be targeted against the 8.2.x-dev branch. For more information see the Drupal 8 minor version schedule and the Allowed changes during the Drupal 8 release cycle.

@iainH any chance you can provide steps to reproduce? How did you create the bad_format config that lead to the error? Postponing on needing more information - we have a test in core that exports the config after installing every module (ConfigImportAllTest).

Thanks for looking into this. Can't reproduce this with my current setup (Drupal 8.0.5; Drush 8.0.5 PHP 5.6)
I notice that I encountered this issue when I was using PHP 7 with Drupal 8.0-dev and drush status was not reporting a connected Drupal.
For this project I'm not using PHP 7 right now ; reverted to PHP 5.6 to avoid updating dev tools, namely Ansible / Vagrant scripts.
