Is this really a system name?

Is this some kind of bug?

Not sure what you mean, the 2mass catalogue (Two Micron All Sky Survey) is a famous star catalogue imported into Elite Dangerous with the position of observed stars. You can look up that particular star yourself in the catalogue;

Awesome - I have never been in a system with such an unusual string of characters as its name, right in the core of the bubble too. Learn something every day. Thanks Varonica!

Ok, there's a lot of them around, there's a string of close together stars you will eventually come across all with a 2MASS name, there are quite a few stars around with catalogue names, the HIP stars, the KOI stars, you will come across them sooner or later.
 
Another interesting thing is the search function on the map knows of alternate names at least in some cases. Found out when looking for all the stars in the southern cross constellation.
 
I was less happy about a passenger mission where a sightseer wanted to go to "UNKNOWN - INVALID DESTINATION". I decided not to risk it, but did I pass up a chance of finding Raxxla?
