No. Specifically the use of a cross runway with an expectation that the landing aircraft will hold short of the intersecting runway.

My intent was not to identify right and wrong. In the scenario you describe it is important that pilots resolve any ambiguity in the regulations, intended or otherwise using airmanship and communication. Equally, habitual flexing of the regulations can become normalised until something breaks. An example would be routine reduction of separation criteria because noone has ever experienced the need to go-round or reject a take-off.
