So I downloaded Neon 0.0.3 last week and some hours ago I accidentally deposited 27 NEO to my Bittrex BTC address. The erroneous transaction 'created' a new Neo address which I obviously can not access:
https://neotracker.io/tx/5c632d9dac1d4218ce239f20f977065e8804555765c3e9ff8699174843b5f448

I'm not going to ask if it's possible to get them back, because it's not very likely. I was told that Neon should have prevented me from paying to a wrong type of address, but looks like it didn't. Is this something that 0.0.4 prevents?

Another thing, a moment ago I got a deposit to my NEO address on Bittrex and the txid looks weird to me: NEOWRFND6f061d9e9b50754d2c797a2962afc56cd0e42f01
I've never shared my Bittrex Neo address, so what does this mean exactly?

That NEOWRFND6f061d9e9b50754d2c797a2962afc56cd0e42f01 is Bittrex refunding the Neo they took from users sending more than X Neo + their fee. So if you sent 3.5 Neo, they took 0.1 NEO fee and the other 0.4, since Neo is not divisible in the actual blockchain system. They've returned that 0.4 (in that scenario). Good move from Bittrex, in my opinion. As for the prevention, yes, we had some invalid address prevention in 0.0.3, but we've expanded that even more in 0.0.4 and it should have been able to cover this case you mention.
