So I'm a dev manager and our QC lead who is gaining proficiency in coding, though is by no means even a junior programmer has taken it upon himself to directly fix some easy bugs. This is certainly a faster way to get things fixed as our dev resources are severely limited. So far it's restricted to typos/grammar mistakes in hard-coded string UI messages and that type of thing. Good or bad? Thoughts?

Very, very bad.
One day he'll fix something he really doesn't understand. Then he'll pass it as fixed because he fixed it so it must be right.
You can either do QA or code but not both and certainly not at the same time.

Who QA's the QAs? There's a Latin version of that isn't there?

Agreed!
The whole idea of having a separate QA dept is that the people involved in the development don't do the testing, because they don't know what to expect.
Who is going to test the QA output?

I hope you don't have any quick fixes in the code that you haven't been allowed to fix properly because no-one will approve a change that doesn't add any visible value and which rely on those hard coded strings

Anyone who writes code like that should be sacked.
