OK, I should have upgraded. But I am currently travelling an with a small laptop only and an Internet connectivity not fit for downloads (call it a bad excuse if you want! :-) ) 

So it actually INSERTS. That is nice. But does it return an error or warning or nothing? It should not be an error IMO as various clients would 'abort on error' and flood its log with error messages.

It is almost the same in MariaDB - but the error message is different, see

SELECT VERSION(); -- 10.1.2-MariaDB-log

CREATE TABLE `vc_test`.`t1`(
  `id` INT NOT NULL,
  `id3` INT AS ( id*3 ) VIRTUAL
);

INSERT INTO `vc_test`.`t1` VALUES (1,3);
-- retruns: Error Code: 1906 - The value specified for computed column 'id3' in table 't1' ignored

SELECT * FROM t1;
-- returns empty set


So here the error message is that "value is ignored" (not that it is "not allowed").  It looks to me like somebody in MariaDB actually identified the problem, but forgot to finish things.

The statement should succeed (maybe raise a warning), and the "specified value should be ignored" as the error message says, but what it in reality is not.

What say?

In 10.1.8, the above returns:
SELECT * FROM t1;
+----+------+
| id | id3  |
+----+------+
|  1 |    3 |
+----+------+
