Unusual in the sense that it’s not normally possible. It’s like asking if it’s unusual for the flying dog to do a barrel roll.

Back end servers usually ignore extra data not possible in vanilla clients, or completely deny the connection because of the extra data. I know of literally no other official server that accepts and passes along random mod data.
