It is (more than) most likely an oversight on Drecom's part.

You will not be awarded ANYTHING based on your ranking, the medals will not be exchangable anywhere, and will simply be removed from your account.

Also, the gaining of items from this glitch can be interpreted as in violation of the EULA: From the Penalties Policy under the Help section in the menu

Examples of Penalties, section 5:

Act to use a defect in a program A player uses a program defect to gain level experience, items, or virtual credits, etc. ✽If the player spreads the improper action within the game, the other users who take advantage of this action will also recieve the same penalty as the original violator.
