That is exactly how they were designed. If they shoot accurately than I wouldn't worry too much.
However, Powerbelt warns that if the barrel is inverted and the barrel is clean than it is possibe for the slug to move towards the muzzle, which creates a space between the powder charge and the slug. This is not safe as the slug should ALWAYS be seated against the powder colum.

That sounds like a damned serious drawback for a deer hunter.
