Yes, it is a bug, and it was reported ten days ago:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator-css/2012May/0003.html

If you would like to circumvent the bug, divide the font settings to 
separate settings, like font-family: 'times new roman',serif. This might 
be a good idea in general, because shorthands tend to be confusing to 
read and modiy.
