I agree. Note that the discussed case, encrypt-to, silently encrypts to 
unvalidated keys that happen to be on a keyring. Just pick any key on 
your keyring that isn't valid, say it's mine, AC46EFE6DE500B3E, and put 
this in your gpg.conf (watch out what you're doing here, though!):

encrypt-to AC46EFE6DE500B3E

Now encrypt a test message to anyone, something like:

echo "I'm talking to myself" | gpg2 -o test.gpg -r E3EDFAE3 -e

Note how happy GnuPG is to do all this, and then do

gpg2 --list-only --list-packets test.gpg

Note how the unvalidated key is silently encrypted to without a peep 
from GnuPG.

HTH,

Peter.
