A minor point: if you would like to send/attach a testcase,
please export into XML format. The file you attached is not
protable: it does not open outside the environment and that
only exists on your user account on your machine.

The XML exports are compressed with gzip and are completely portable.

I don't think this is a bug, although I see your point.
This is an error during data entry. We could add a feature
checking for things like this.

Yes. Not the fix though, but rather the feature. Gramps did exactly
what you asked it to do. If you misspell the words in your email
client, you would not call it bugs of your email client. You would
call them typos. The spell-checking is a useful feature that may or
may not be added.
