No, it isn't. There's no undefined behavior there. The C standard says (F.9):
"Whether the functions honor the rounding direction mode is 
implementation-defined."

So, this just means that an implementation doesn't need to return a result
rounded to the correct direction (this is implementation-defined). Still it
should return an approximate value whatever the rounding direction mode is, and
not behave erratically.
