Sorry to answer myself so soon... I guess it is allowed. The simplest case being a sequencer outputting to the same channel and port as a keyboard player. Nothing can prevent this - right? And there's no way in the world that missing note-offs could be added in, in a fashion guaranteed to cover all possible permutations of connections, or without delaying the note-on which implies a missing note-off.
