I believe the old hacker's description of that is "broken as designed".

Now, if you document how broken it is, it becomes a misfeature.
If I wrote a program to show eBooks with green text and a blue background and you want black text and white background, the green and blue colorsare not a bug. They are as programmed.

A bug is when a program should do something a certain way and doesn't do it. If you expect it to do something different then it does, that does not mean it's a bug. It might or might not be a bug.
