Yes, that's a bug.

<p:pipeline ...>
  <p:input port="source">
    <p:document href="..."/>
  </p:input>
  ...

is exactly the same as

<p:declare-step ...>
  <p:input port="source"/>
  <p:input port="parameters" kind="parameter"/>
  <p:output port="result"/>
  <p:input port="source">
    <p:document href="..."/>
  </p:input>
  ...

which is a duplicate declaration of the input port named "source".

                                        Be seeing you,
