Not too shocking. A lot of mods will break or cause other issues with pirated versions of games. Seen it many times in the Bethesda modding community. And not only will the authors not provide support to anyone who complains of issues originating from pirated copies, they also have considerable contempt for pirates and many will ban or request a ban against those who out themselves as such.

What's shocking isn't that it did so accidentally, but that he intentionally programmed it that way.

Even that doesn't shock me.  There were several mods I know of for Skyrim and Mount&Blade that checked the game as a means of rooting out pirated versions.
