There's still another argument for allowing it, N, even if Naruto doesn't realise exactly what he's doing: Naruto's natural bent is on physically affecting the world - ninjutsu. It's the frst way he comes at any jutsu-related situation, which is probably why he has so much trouble with genjutsu used against him - his instinct is to fight it physically, not to doublecheck his senses. So, here he is, watching some other ninja turn into other things, wants o try it himself, he copies the seal and throws a bunch of chakra around, thinking about physically turning into something else...
I'm not saying it can't be interpreted that way, but it's not very likely at all in canon.
After all, if I was arguing against its possibility, I'd have to be arguing against desaix's Hokage no Jutsu, and with the quality of the story it's part of, I couldn't do that and respect myself in the morning.

Quote:- CDThat which does not kill us... has made its last mistake.
Hokage no jutsu (Shadow fire technique -- also, pun on the Konoha's leadership)
A kinjutsu varient of the sexy no jutsu, will transform the body of the caster into a ball of flame (which, as he has built up his speed, will spread across an area in front of him). The fuel for the fire is ones chakra, so any clones with linked chakra systems will not be of a help as far as survivability goes; if the clones chakra is independent, then the person who made the clone can survive the technique.
