Any BoT exhibited the problem.  The reason you're not seeing it is that the 
code was disabled when it was discovered that it wasn't working equivalently.  
The two commits in question:

Added:
http://brlcad.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/brlcad?view=revision&revision=46127
Disabled:
http://brlcad.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/brlcad?view=revision&revision=46386

If you reapply the change in 46127 to call the new rt_bot_bbox() function 
during prep, the 'bb' command will produce a different (wrong) bounding box.

better bounding box, typo fixed

src/tclscripts/mged/help.tcl

Hopefully not for too much longer, though.  The '?' tclscript command has 
fallen a little out of sync with more than a few commands missing.  The goal is 
to move that help documentation over into src/libged with each respective 
command defining their help/usage string.  Then the '?' command becomes a 
built-in libged command that can query all registered commands automatically.

For now, though, it's still src/tclscripts/mged/help.tcl or 
src/tclscripts/helplib.tcl or src/tclscripts/helpdevel.tcl

Cheers!
