MoD in in the bug thread, which you can argue is not maintained by a dev, but it IS checked often by the devs, and it has been there since February. Thus if the devs did not consider it a bug, they would have denoted so on the bug list.
MoD is in fact listed in red in the buglist, this says it is a BAD bug.

Actually, that's not quite correct.
The bug shortlist is not a list of bugs, but a list of 'potential bugs', which is organized to prioritize the receiving of the dev's attention to either fix or declare WAD. Red simply means it requires the devs attention before other less serious matters.
As for it being on the shortlist for so long and not getting any attention from the devs, actually argues the case that it is NOT a bug.
I'll point again to my previous post which seems to have been lost in many quick replies to the thread.

I'll begin by confessing I've never had this used against me, however I wouldn't think it was a bug simply because of some sort of shock value or perceived unfairness. KO and Johan have made some very conscientious and well thought out decisions to have things works in a particular way. How you can wish for certain things but not others, how prophets come back from the dead with more holy power, how mindless commanders pop, how certain spells use no saves or are unresistable, how immortality works, how vengeance of the dead eventually kills through a game mechanic, etc.
There will always be some parts of the game that don't work exactly as you'd have expected, or wanted, or would have designed if you were making it up. That seems to be part of the nature of the beast when talking about anything with tons of magic.
Personally, I find the fact that there are combo's in this game, that are far greater than the sum of their parts to be a very good thing. These are the things which promote creativity and why strategies are still evolving and being developed as we speak, and why no tome will ever contain the total collection of things you could encounter when playing a game of Dominions.
Until KO specifically speaks up and says this is a bug, I'd wish everyone would stop making that assumption.
