Yes, its a bizarre bug, as I would have thought that the market app would check that it can sequester the funds then authorise rather than checking in what manner it can sequester the funds when doing a cross border purchase. There should be no relevance to the purchaser though the back end will want to know the locations of both parties for tax reasons.
