It is legal but it does not change the fact that it is a bug in cases it changes
the result of the game.
There is no low in chess that it is illegal to lose games.

 It is illegal to do it

I agree that losing on time in cases that  it change the result of the game is a
bug but you can do it sometimes and still draw the game.

If you lose on time and your opponent has only a king then the chess rules say
that it is a draw.

If you lose on time and the opponent has  king and knight against king and queen
then it is a draw because there is no way for you to help the opponent to do a
checkmate.
