On board 9 of ACBL tournament #7344, I had the following impossible auction: 4H opener by partner - pass - pass - 4S - pass - pass - 5H - pass - 6C** - double - 6H - pass - pass - double - all pass. Result was 6H dbled down 1. BBO programmers, this is a very poor mistake that needs to be corrected. When partner has passed and then simply bids one more once the opponents balance, this is not at all invitational on their partner to bid again.

So the real flaw is that bidding in competition shows more points than it should, when the initial pass after 4♥ should have already shown no slam interest.

Yes. Although I think the 4♠ bid and explanation are interesting also.
