OK Here's some food for thought...
SAme situation only this time instead of a 100Amp branch breaker, a 125A branch breaker is installed. Assume all wire sizes are correct. Is this a violation??

Give me the calculated load.
 
Give me the calculated load.

Doesn't really matter. Main breaker is 100A. If the actual load exceeds 125A the 100A main will trip. This situation is closer to the feed thru lugs than the 100A main-100A branch breaker.
