Yes, Bitcoin miners don't perform any validation beyond the Bitcoin validity rules. Omni transactions rely on OP\_RETURN values, which don't matter to the Bitcoin miners.

As long as a tx is a valid Bitcoin tx, miners are free to include it in their blocks.

When an omni node sees such an invalid transaction, it will simply ignore any asset movements the tx claims to perform.
