It's not a bug from my POV. I don't mind being interrupted by the 
Windows UAC. In fact, I want it. You should be able to figure out why.

BTW, in my lexicon, "bug" is a program feature that does not work 
correctly. The subject of this discussion is a "design flaw", ie, the 
feature is badly conceived. Trouble is, flaws are in the eyes 
(mouse-hands, fingers) of the user. Eg, "Archive" in Thunderbird is a 
design flaw from my POV.
