That sounds pretty unprofessional, but is surprising to me. When I was applying for full-time positions this past fall (for post-graduation) I ended up having a lot of places to reject - no problems getting reimbursed from any of them. Accenture was not someplace I had applied to work, nor someplace I'd want to work, but hopefully your experience is atypical. This said, it can definitely be hard to pay enough attention to recruits and interviewees even in the best of circumstances... not that that's a good excuse for HR.
