I was under an impression that transactions that are not valid, and can never enter the blockchain can't be initiated.
Could this be considered a bug?

I believe after speaking with a few different people, certain other coin account will reject non valid transfers ie not of the same type. Terracoin does not do this, and Terracoin addresses are also valid BTC addresses.
Someone mentioned that the Terracoin developers should address this, and that he was afraid of this happening.

Yes, the addresses have built-in error-detection, so that making up an address or even typoing a letter in a real address should be detected and the transaction will not be made. Most of the alt-coins also have a specific unique format of the address, but Terracoin and BTC are indistinguishable. I wouldn't be surprised if this happens again. Sad
