Leveling Up on Chems (Glitch?)

Guesty

First time out of the vault
The game's been pretty smooth, glitch-wise, thus far - only two other times have there been any problems.

To deal with a certain fight in the Hub, I took one buffout and (I believe) two mentats, and I leveled up directly after winning said fight. However, when I went to the character sheet to level up, everything was treated as if my character's temporarily boosted stats were actually that high.

So I could get a perk such as Empathy, even though my Perception stat was one too low for the character to qualify. My (tagged) Speech skill could be raised from 103% to 105% (shouldn't it be going from 103-104?), even though it's at least 20% lower than that normally.

I was curious if anyone knew about this, and if there's any adverse effects to leveling up while using chems - e.g., would the game somehow get rid of the perk I picked, if it normally wasn't possible for my character?
 
Yeah, this is known, can also be used for instance to get more out of reading books if one is so inclined. No drawbacks that I know of.
