Not a bug, but very annoying. For example, if you take off in a fast bend and slam on the brakes; the automatic transmission will shift into reverse gear and, in the worst case scenario, you will crash into something.
As a solution, it would be possible for the automatic transmission to only shift up to N and you would have to engage reverse gear yourself. That would definitely be a desirable feature and definitely not too much work.
