No. From the docs for XmlDocument.SelectNodes:

As I understand, this code may work in some cases and in some other cases
(like using other data or other version of .NET) it may cause exception.

Yes. In other words, you shouldn't depend on it working either way.

Why .NET allows to use such broken code ?

I don't see it as being particularly broken.

Has java 6 also such kind on desing flaw or is it better designed ?

There are many ways in which .NET is better designed than Java. There
are a few examples the other way round, of course, but generally I
prefer the design of .NET.
