Not to go too off topic, but what is your definition of a bug, then? There seems to be a few folks with extremely narrow definitions of "bug" that fly in the face of how I've seen the term used--both professionally and casually.

At danger of going on esoteric tangent (I guess that’s less of a crime as the forum only has 3 days’ of life left) I would define a bug as a situation where the intended machine logic does not function (eg due to an unidentified flaw in the code etc). In this case, I’d argue the machine logic works but there is an unintended consequence. That’s not so much a bug in the code as in the wetware (and not so much we can do about that).

But my interpretation of what happened in this case is speculative (which is much more fun than labouring through the code to see what actually happened - clearly a philosophy shared by our friends at CG) - so happy to consider the possibility that it may be a bug. In which case it’s like that bug that makes people like cats - hard to make sense of but it won’t actually do any harm.
