Woah, that could probably be exploited. Keep sending Intel ops to your enemy, getting him to declare war multiple times... If you're a bloodthirsty race, your people will go Jubilant!

You apparently cannot declare war, if you are already at war! (I thought of that trick myself).
As for if it is a bug or not I am not so sure: I think that would be a too easy method to improve the happiness of your entire empire if you choose the bloodthirsty happiness type and then declare war every other turn on an empire (and after 1-2 years offer an Non-Aggression treaty, which will not harm you, and then begin again!).
