--- Comment #1 from jimsch <ietf@augustcellars.com> ---
Looking at RFC 2898 which has a definition of PBKDF2.  The inputs include

dkLen - intended length in octets of the derived key, a positive integer.

This means that the algorithm itself requires that the output length be an
integral number of bytes and is not specified for odd bit sizes.

This bug should be resolved as by design.
