I think so.  For example, if South had had the DK like you would
probably expect from his bidding, NS would go down.  Besides, it is
hard to imagine any good result coming in matchpoints (Please tell us
if it is matchpoints or not) without the double.  South's bidding
sounds like either overbidding or a really big hand giving his partner
nothing and making the declarer play difficult.  In either case,
double seems fine to me.  I don't think West is required to pick up
the same information that is unauthorized for South.
