Not anymore than you can fault a French article for misspelling London as "Londres".

Perhaps my use of proper names is not the best example.
Pearl Harbor the proper name doesn't have a different spelling in English regardless of where you are.
So an article about it in the Times of London would say "The harbour at Pearl Harbor is very deep."
An article in the New York Times would say "The harbor at Pearl Harbor is very deep."
