This actually is not surprising as I have seen many teams playing it fast and loose with rules at several events. I actually caught a guy with a media pass go right up to a drive team during a match and start barking orders to them. I told him to go back and sit down. Looking back I should have just taken the pass from him and had him removed from the field.
Most of the teams that do this are lower end teams who obviously do not bother to read the rules so do things like bring whole entourages to the field (one team at Montreal to combat my stopping them bringing too many people onto the field due to a lack of driver button gave four extra driver buttons from a previous regional to other member so they could bring eight people onto the field) to having the wrong buttons (or even outright losing them) to having too many people handling the balls.
All these antics due is cause more work for already stressed out volunteers and it's neither funny or endearing. It's just stupid and unnecessary.
