I don't understand why you ask. But my answer is that it should (of 
course) *not* be considered a bug - it is as it should be. Do you see 
any inconsistency or problems with that viewpoint?

May be it should be considered an authoring error to operate with that 
markup - may be a HTML5 validator should cry out. However, the question 
about what is valid and meaningful, is another issue than the question 
about the effect of role="presentation".
