That's what I just said, but they will never be mined into a block because they don't have a valid signature according to SegWit. UTXOs in SegWit addresses technically can be spent by anyone using a legacy node. The only reason none of those transactions make it into a block is because the miners enforce valid witness signatures due to version bit 2.

Maybe you don't understand the scenario I'm laying out here. A legacy node(version bit 1), NOT a legacy transaction. This node finds a SegWit address with Bitcoin and produces a transaction without a signature. This is a valid transaction on the legacy node, but when broadcast to the network, anyone running version bit 2 or above will reject the transaction for not having a valid witness.
