No, this is no bug. There is nothing else a Find-module could comply to, than 
its own documentation.
The readme.txt installed along with the Find-module is for authors of Find-
modules, not visible for users of Find-modules. It also only contains 
recommendations ("should", "try", "please", "would like").
You can write a Find-module in whatever way you like, and as long as it 
respects the given arguments (REQUIRED, QUIET, version) and behaves as 
documented, it is not buggy.
