I'd consider it broken. In many other cases, if I make a typo in my search, Google will (rather prominently, IMO) at the top of the search display something like:
> Showing results for "When did Neil Armstrong set foot on the Moon?"
> Show instead for "When did Neil Armwrong set foot on the Moon?"
However, it seems to only work for actual spelling errors (e.g. if I typed Armstrong incorrectly) vs. context errors.
So to answer your question, I'd expect Google calling out its interpretation, but not necessarily a "never".
