Well, that does present a conundrum, of course. I'm sure you've done things in your young life that have had unintended consequences.
Still, direct and indirect results are very different things. If the Death Eaters take it into their heads to hurt an innocent bystander because they can't reach me directly, that's regrettable and extremely distasteful. But it's not my wand casting the curse, nor my intent that causes them harm.
