Well, yes, sort of. With Bat 2.2.4 I wasn't able to reproduce it, besides the 
Version Browser - it was still not working in these cases.

However, now I've upgraded to Bacula 2.2.5 and restore seems to be broken in 
there - restore just continues in console part and is not taken to its own 
page, I can just cancel it with dot. Version Browser acts the same - at some 
servers it works and in some not.

Yes, if you don't consider always making an extra 1 click for no real reason, 
it's not the problem.
