If untoward behavior is not present directly and there are that many unknowns, it is not a good idea to assume there is a bug.
Well it really becomes an issue of semantics at a certain point, and I'm not sure that rigorous defense of a flawed position is necessarily the best way to go with it. o.O

I don't know how many people would consider it a bug that the AI would either script melee with a Bow of War, or that it would not rescript a commander who got new equipment. I would, so long as there were any mechanic for rescripting at all, though I fear there may not be, in which case it would technically be WAD, and a design flaw rather than a bug.
