Git commit allegedly from Satoshi embedded inside ...
Seeing as the author messed up and made the transaction unspendable, it's clearly not Satoshi actually authoring the patch. Just somebody playing around.

It's intentionally non-spendable, by doing so it keeps that data from having to be stored forever in the dataset used for block validation.

Have a look at the transaction again. It looks like it was meant to be spendable.

If you wrote an entire system of opcodes and a currency around them, you wouldn't mess up on an obscure rule and render your coins unspendable.
