What you mention is normally and exception.
The french wiki page about cadastre building integration explicitely mention 
that data should be checked carrefully and merged with the existing to keep 
database coherency and quality.
The french community has also some tools to detect people doing what you 
mention and often perform a revert of the changeset, contact the contributor to 
explain that there are some quality requirements.
Clean cadastre integration is a process that take quite a long time when done 
correctly and that could not be automated, that's why it has been decided to 
not perform a national automated import like CLC but rather to rely on 
contributors which do that city by city
