What do you mean if it is a bug? The rules say one thing, the result
is another. That is a bug. Everyone knows it is a bug. Other people
have complained about it not being fixed. I have complained about it
before. This is not a new thing.

What astonishes me is that it is such a major skewing of the game
system and it has not been addresed. As far as I know no one has
every got a reply from Rich about it.

I am not complaining about this incident in particular. I was just
pointing out that
1) the bug has been known for many months and has not been addressed.
2) It is one of the major differences between G1 and G2 that was put
in to address the AOO problems in G1.
3) This incident is a perfect example of the bug taken to its logical
extreme.
I also complained about the prisoners acting as nobles bug when PLATO
were using it.
I didn't ask for compensation in my pointing out of the Bug.
Frankly this "you did it too so you can't complain" is childish and
petulant given I pointed out I was complaining about the Bug not the
incident.
