Thanks Tom, I have posted a reply in the feedback forum as it seems a more appropriate place to continue this thread.

Yes, this is deliberate. The regular level loader excludes levels that don't pass sanity checks, but the editor lets you load them (I think they show in red or something?). It sanitizes them when it does, but in the old days when I was changing the rules somewhat often to fix bugs, it was necessary for rescuing levels.

I never noticed this before: Using the current version the malformed levels don't show up in the level list in play mode but they do show in edit mode. Obviously, they are no longer playable and when saved the editor corrects them to a non-malformed state.

Thanks. Found an old version in a backup and they play fine. Now I see your point!

The levels still exist in game data, and are even downloaded if you request quarantine. But if you're using a version of the game updated to SVN r1181 (official release 200912250) or newer, it now looks at certain aspects of level construction to make sure they aren't self-contradictory, and refuses to show levels that are. The prior release (200704130) will still list those levels and keep them in a solvable state, as will a custom source build where you simply don't apply those changes.

And, #2 has obviously been lifted from Conflict. I do vaguely remember your malformed series, I was very new to the game at the time. It begs the question, what has happened to them and all the other levels "moved to quarantine" since 2005?

That comment was actually addressed to the level creator, about how the backbone was obviously lifted from level 2645--since the level is in quarantine (and doesn't even appear in the level list on the current version) it's a wonder how someone with an ID that high ever would have learned about the level in the first place.
