I was very concerned that this could occur when I picked up the domain and started allowed traffic to it to succeed, but I haven't seen the massive social network outcry about problems... So I've put that concern to rest :).

As said elsewhere, I think the theory that they likely intended 'bogus.apple.com' is the best guess. Either way it was just a consideration that some developer and/or their code reviewer(s) overlooked.

It happens.
