It may be a BUG as you say, but I guess an incremental bootstrap is possible,
as I just witnessed it yesterday...
It does kind of make sense to a degree, if a full bootstrap was done recently,
why not do an incremental ? Especially if it's to the same piece of media.
Although, it is the first time I've seen it do an incremental bootstrap EVER...
Since Networker was installed a couple of years ago ...
