Yes, absolutely - it's part of the LSB standard, which I believe at least 
debian also tries to follow.

This kind of bug is a pretty common issue whenever you try to use any kind of 
service monitoring system, like puppet, that uses the init scripts to 
determine service status.  I know that Fedora at least has been making an 
effort lately to make all of their scripts fully compliant.
