No, it is only caused by a programming oversight which is :
- The Pokémon data from the previous battle is not cleared when a roamer battle happens. (it is only cleared when a non-roamer battle happens, and when you reset the game)

However, you could consider the fact of using this glitch to catch trainer Pokémon other than the Battle Tower ones a sort of memory corruption as the capture overwrites the Trainer ID of the Pokémon (which is different than yours, as only wild Pokémon and Battle Tower ones share your TID), which in turn messes up completely the decryption of the Pokémon's data, giving you a Bad Egg at the end.
