All clients flag a NIP-05 in some visual way if it is invalid. This can happens for a misconfiguration but more frequently when someone try to impersonate. The problem is that this "flag" (e.g. green/red icon, open/closed lock) is not always obvious, also because it is often next to the profile picture, and newcomers may be confused and deceived. Moreover, an incorrect NIP-05 does not always correspond to spam/scam, so it cannot be further highlighted.

Best pratice proposal: just hide invalid NIP-05s in feeds and threads, and show them only in the profiles, with a proper description of the problem.

IDK, I often look at the Nostr Address/NIP05 checks in comments, some folks' are easy to remember (yours for example). Amethyst does well here, atleast.

Probably when name and display_name differ, and the client shows only display_name.

In this case NIP-05 functions as a name substitute.
