Actually read that before I post the question. The problem is in
http://www.groupstudy.com/archives/ccielab/200610/msg00401.html

I also feel it is wrong, as it would be a major security issue if the
outside-to-inside can be established without inside-to-outside entries are
created.

I feel it does extra validation only because in the documentation, at
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios123/123newft/123t
/123t_14/gtnato2n.htm

it mentions:

Restrictions for NAT Routemaps Outside-to-Inside Support

Only IP hosts that are part of the routemap configuration will allow
outside sessions.

Outside sessions must use an access list.
