i would describe it as “someone with inadequate, or incorrect knowledge about seal script”. “初” is unrecognisable, and “晴” is . . . hard to guess :(

I'm 80% sure that this is supposed to be 百雲初晴, but the edges of the seal are cut off so crucial parts of the characters are missing

Thank you for the suggestion! 
Is it a 成语 idiom? 
What could these 4 character mean?

Having started in the study and painting of shan Shui, I also needed to conduct lengthy research into chop/seal design and cutting methods, which are what make chops such an art form, I have done some drawings based on your "seal" and the page you referenced that has quite a few conversions. If the OP is still curious I think I may have found the answer to your question. I will wait a reply to the comment I make.

[![百雲初晴](https://i.sstatic.net/DNq8F.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/DNq8F.png)

The characters look like 「百雲初晴」 (*clearing up after endless clouds*).

Note that the whole thing isn't really "seal script", it's really just characters written rather inconsistently.

* 「百」 is the only real thing resembling seal script
* 「雲」 is cut off at the bottom
* 「初」's left side looks like they tried to do something strange with 「衤」
* 「晴」's bottom-right component looks like it's missing the inner strokes
