Anyway, this is not an information we can rely on.

I notice many blocks pretending to be version 2 but showing bad height encode values

See
http://blockexplorer.com/block/00000000000005d024e86337ca13439b7f3dbd5e1a005b1dbe510150d45b6e98 is block 200433 and pretends to be 436591499

May be such blocks must not be accepted by the network as the BIP34 is now enforced?

Early on, there was some debate about the proper encoding.  See this discussion for information on why the bogus encodings were allowed (specifically a post from gmaxwell on July 2nd).
