It is permitted, but generally ignored.

You can tell if an AppleEvent reply will be ignored, and all events from the Finder are ignored, or sent with the flag kAENoReply.  Thus, it is pointless to return data to them.   However, if someone else were to send an open event, they could leave off the kAENoReply flag and get a response if one was returned.

If a reply is returned to the Finder, it will be ignored.
