What, the network (the miners) accepts transactions with malformed destination addresses?

As far as I understand it, someone sent money to an "address" that wasn't properly formatted. As such, the money is sent, but never arrives anywhere. Most likely this was done by someone with a non-standard client, because the standard client can't do this. So it's either someone messing around with modifying the standard client code, or someone with custom code altogether (think exchanges etc).

2609.36304319 BTC of irretrievable money.

EDIT: explanation,

The script looks like: 76a90088ac

That's the standard transaction (tx for short) which is:

dup (0x76), hash160 (0xa9), 0x14 (push 20 bytes to the stack), .... (next 20 bytes of hash of public key), equalverify (0x88), checksig (0xac)

Only in this case the 0x14 has been replaced by 00, which in scripting language means push 0 bytes.

It's a tx which has been sent to nothing. Obviously someone was hacking at bitcoin or making a custom version and messed up- although I have no idea what it was doing with so much money.
