yes that's correct but don't forget that hashes can collide

it could be the case that:

can ? could ? might ? Do you have any mathematical prouve or are you 
just guessing ?

xhash("$Up3$tr0n9 # P@$sWoRD!!") == xhash("1234") and you don't even 
need the original strong one ;)

what hashing algorithm is being use ? Is a collision realistic ? How 
much time would it take to actually break a given hash ?
so strong password is not a countermesure to that

I beleive that is a BIG security hole

At least, the hash was probably not meant to be leaked ;)
Now, if you don't answer the above questions by "can", "weak", "very", 
"< 1 day or so", hence, the word "BIG" is a bit exagereted imho...
