The equality is okay;  it's when you start trying to apply arithmetic
laws like

a+c == b+c implies a == b

that you get into trouble.  In other words, the doubly-extended real
line is a perfectly well-defined and well-behaved *set*, and even a
nice (compact) topological space with the usual topology.  It's just
not a field, or a group under addition, or ...
