You are right.
It is too easy to prove mate in an illegal position.

Here is the right position

I do not know how many moves black need to mate but it seems that not many
because Junior5.9 has no problem to see more than 20 pawns advantage for black.

[D]2r4k/3b4/b4N2/1PrNnbb1/3nb1nn/Pn5P/1B2RQR1/4RKR1 b - - 0 1

Are you satisfied?
