Avoiding the temporary ban warning?

I just played a game against the same opponent in 1 min bullet. Normally, if you let you time run out in a clearly lost position, you get a temporary ban warning (same with aborting games before they start). Even though I have never experienced a ban take effect, it seems like a decent solutions to handle trolls and whatnot.

However, in this game, my opponent makes a move just a second before his time runs out, thereby not getting the warning. It is bullet, so I do not really care, but it could be annoying at longer time controls.

Should this be considered abuse of some sort? I am not trying to report the user here (as I said, I do not care), but rather to point out a loophole for those who wishes to troll away without consequences.
