I'm fairly certain that punishments have been handed out for something like this when it involved founding a religion.
It seems to me to be deliberate circumvention of game mechanics. "Only lords can build temples" is not just to make coding easier. It is a deliberate restriction on who can build temples. A series a benchwarmer lords who's sole tak is to build a temple and then step down seems a pretty obvious and deliberate circumvention of the game mechanics.
