The other martyrs with destruction effects are may-abilities. Is it intentional that this one can backfire?
No. Should it be? Red does seem to be the color where I'd expect backfires to happen.
For consistency's sake I'd suggest it be the same for all of them - and one of the other optional examples was red as well, so that's apparently not the reason.
I'd also argue that a six mana 6/3 doesn't become a better design having that drawback. Six mana is already somewhere you don't expect to get just by reaching turn six.
Consider how far the effect swings around between destroying an opponent's land and your own. The effect is already weirdly placed on a marty trigger since getting the LD once you need it is already delayed to the point when your creature dies.
