The level in question was literally called "Actual Loopholes", so the author was clearly trying to push the rules as much as the possibly could -- I'm personally willing to not give them the benefit of the doubt in this case. For what it's worth, I played the level myself, and while I admittedly thought it was actually really fun, I can see why it would be unfair to allow that level into the contest when most of the other contestants likely didn't have it in mind. Also, the level doesn't even work in Snes9x, so it does overtly break rules that the contest has had in the past - it just wasn't specified this time around because, you know, common sense.
Also the VLDC3 Smallhacker thing was all the way back in 2010. I would personally argue that hacks exploiting Lunar Magic bugs should be DQ'd as well, since it's still not really something that showcases the skills of the level designer under a restriction.
