If this happened at a bank, you would be told you submitted the wrong form to withdraw foreign currency from your account (closest analog I can think of) and be given the correct form before it even started getting processed.

A better analogy would be that you sent the money to a bank account you thought belonged to X, but X can no longer prove that they actually are X, so the bank are not allowing them to withdraw the money anymore. Would the bank still send back the money, even though the recipient was technically correct?
