  Rendering include files?

When playing around a scene, by mistake I hit the "run" button while an 
include file was active.  Instead of issuing the usual error message 
"Scene does not contain any object or glows!", it only issued a warning 
and rendered it!!!!

It even did the radiosity pretrace steps although there's no rad block 
in the .inc (obviously!)

This is reproducible at will.

Is this a new behaviour or a bug?

Here's a bit of the output:
