No, it's not a bug. The bash-3.2 behavior was the bug.

The bash builtins(1) manpage states this fairly clearly:
source filename [arguments]
Read and execute commands from filename in the current shell
environment and return the exit status of the last command
executed from filename. If filename does not contain a slash,
file names in PATH are used to find the directory containing
filename. The file searched for in PATH need not be
executable. When bash is not in posix mode, the current
directory is searched if no file is found in PATH. If the
sourcepath option to the shopt builtin command is turned off,
the PATH is not searched.
Also see bash author Chet Ramey's recent reply on the bash list:
