I would probably consider that a bug.
(But I fear I might well work for one of the companies that you're
griping about. ;-) )
What's a "bug" and what's a "feature" and what's an "enhancement" is
somewhat open to interpretation. It's certainly true that a compiler
can strictly obey the RM, and still have (what I would consider to be)
bugs.
