If it's not - then that's the real bug. well, I don't want to get into fixing semantic bugs, as there generally doesn't seem to be much of a hint as to what the intended semantics are - except that you wonder how the code's semantics could actually be intentional. So I would suggest fixing the buffer overflow for now, until someone feels like taking care of the semantic bug.
