I don't know if it really qualifies as a "bug" per se, given that it apparently took this long for anyone to come up with a chain of decisions that led to uncovering this behaviour, and the solution of filtering the results through an additional measure (or using the clunkier-in-this-instance construction of an IfCondition) is only a "problem" for people who share my fetish for minimal code. The optimal solution might be to edit not the software, but the manual page describing IfMatch.
