Do you agree this solution given by Maple is not correct?

restart;
pde := diff(u(x,t),t)+diff(u(x,t),x)=0;
bc  := D[1](u)(0,t)=0;
ic  := u(x,0)=exp(-x^2);
sol:=pdsolve([pde,ic,bc],u(x,t)) assuming x>0,t>0;
pdetest(sol,pde)

Result of pdetest should be zero.

I think the PDE itself is not well posed (I copied it from different forum to see what Maple does with it). But still the solution clearly does not satisfy the PDE itself for x not zero.
