Well, the driver isn't supposed to do that, this is certainly non-spec behaviour.
Is there any harm though? There is at least one other AP manufacturer that really wants to test this feature, so I guess there will be products on the market soon enough that support VHT in 2.4Ghz band. Some day soon-ish, we'll benchmark this in an isolation chamber & over-the-air to see how it actually performs.
