NO, NO AND NO

SMTP works with envelopes and not with headers and there
are a million reasons to do this - if i send a message
with a reply-to header i expect that i get answers from
HUMAN persons on this address and not bounces

if whatever server sends me bounces to the reply-to-address
i consider this server simply as broken

example:

* web-application
* html form
* you enter your email
* the app sends the message to the woner with reply-to
* NEVER EVER the mailserver is allowed to send bounces to
  the reply-to in errors-cases because you need only ONE bad
  guy smelling this which fills in random addresses to flood
  them with bounces

don't do break SMTP careless - never!
