I am guessing that this is by design- especially given the tone of the pack (curses, backfires, magic being a bad thing to play with). Using an infatuate spell should always be a 'no-no' (as should other 'spells'), so this is likely "as intended". The implementation is poor, as always, and questionable. There has long been other issues, like child sims (whose parents are famous) being offered to model the "WooHoo Wear" clothing line. Of course this is beyond 'inappropriate', but EA/Maxis finds it (disgustingly) acceptable. So, the spell backfiring on the teenage sim seems to be exactly as standard (inappropriate) Maxis/EA gameplay. Hopefully one day they will stop.
If this is not a bug, then the game will lose its "Teen"-rating, should this ever become known to the wider public. Personally, I believe it's just an oversight, but compounded with the amount of other bugs currently in the game, this is a recipe for disaster! The guru's might not take this one serious enough - until some big shot law-man sees his daughter playing a game that offers incestuous relationships without mods! Whether by design or bug, the result is the same. Devastating.

@DMDragonCT I seriously doubt that this is by design.
There have been mixups with age and gender tags many times before.
