For sure it can work... at ambient temperature! I'm not going to hope that it will always start/work properly for awhile/forever in all condition. Can work with some crystal but not with others and such other...
For sure you can use almost every electronic parts a bit over their spec and it will work... how long? that's another question. If you don't give any warranty/support and you're not afraid to burn your name, now you can do it for sure... That's my own opinion on that.
what is the main need of 8MHZ oscillator? Serial comm? in this case why not using lower baudrate (2400,4800)?
i don't know where you get your parts but 20MHZ is not twice the price of a regular 4MHZ... see digikey u.k website.

It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
