When the game goes to play a sound the ones in the data folder override those of the MPQ. This is by Blizzards own design. It has been there since BETA. If it was an issue with Blizz I think they would have changed some of the games code to no longer load sound files from this location.
Just my 2¢

That's pretty much my line of thought on the matter. If Blizzard didn't want people doing it, surely they would have patched it out ages ago...
