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.

In my experience, I've never met anyone who would agree with you. Even the acronym (BAD) is defined in my copy of the jargon file as: "IBM: acronym, “Broken As Designed”] Said of a program that is bogus because of bad design and misfeatures rather than because of bugginess."

I think it's time to end this discussion with another quote:
