If it is a bug it is one that only shows up in (rare?) real world scenarios.

Maybe it's not so rare. Nate says the files that ADE hoovered were apparently on an ereader that happened to be connected to his computer when he performed the test. The ereader had NOT been authorized to ADE. He's working with EFF to document it and to understand it better before he makes a post. So did the program do a Max Headroom and say to itself, "Ooh, a cable! I wonder where it leads?"
