I think this is very wrong, like allowing suicide.
If you allow (or forbid) moves that cannot really (should) be played  
in the
random games you are not sampling the true status of the board.

This is very different from null-move where one tries to get a lower
estimate of the board position by allowing an extra move at the
BEGINNING, but not during the playout.
