Should this not work or does it sometiems work? Am I up for trouble ahead??

Not 100% sure, but it will probably send ECC signals down connectors not connected on your motherboard, so it will probably work. I'd prefer sticking correct type in though.
Depending on where you got the memory, you can always send it back and ask for it to be swapped for correct type, normally a small(restocking) fee, but then you have no worries about anything.
