Well the miners definitely appreciate this. I'm going to assume that someone made a mistake while sending a transaction. This has happened in the past, nothing new. It's easier to type 100 instead of 0.100 than you think.
Im sure they do appreciate it, devs need to make sure wallets have safety warnings for any mistakes like this. Scares away the newbies.

No I do not think it is for the question of a fast confirmation of the transaction. Also with 0.01 only btc you are sure that your tx will be included in the first block, 1 btc it is expensive and also 89 BTC. Like I said previously, it is only a mistake and here you can find a lot of information: - http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/33u2id/help_losing_over_85_btc_because_of_bitgos_flawed/

Someone probably really messed up. In the summer of 2013, there was a 200 btc fee because a user was trying to create their own outputs rather than letting a wallet to do.

These are very expensive mistakes. Bitcoin is not to be blamed, but the media might write an article doing just that.

SO it was a bug in a srcipt! Yes, however we are waiting more info on reddit. Someone probably really messed up. In the summer of 2013, there was a 200 btc fee because a user was trying to create their own outputs rather than letting a wallet to do.
A few days ago I've read a thread here in the forum "why bitcoin will never go mainstream" or something like that (I don't remember now).... This is one of the reason "the knowledge" of what are you doing. These are very expensive mistakes. Bitcoin is not to be blamed, but the media might write an article doing just that. This is the work of the media, but if someone want to know the truth... He should only search it.

This was caused by a bug in the software that created the transaction. Such bugs are going to happen occasionally, but the transaction it created should not have been seen as valid when it got the output amounts blatantly wrong.
The fact that we treat any over spend as an invalid transaction but any under spend as a mining fee makes half of the cases where the amounts are blatantly wrong succeed.
All told, I call this proof that the mining fee should be explicit rather than implicit, and then any transaction where output total doesn't equal input total would be invalid.

Bitmain, who's pool mined the block agreed to return the amount lost. The guy that lost the coins said that they were all returned. https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/341xkr/all_lost_btc_returned_thank_you_to_bitmain_bitgo/

Have seen this more then once on here and reddit, although not due to a buggy library as this case, just sender error.... luckily in every case i've seen the pool that mined it was kind enough to return it...
