This certainly seems like a bug to me. At least I can't think of any reason why it would be the case. IMO .SECONDARY has always been iffy. The way it works and the side- effects it has are odd; in my opinion it shouldn't exist in the first place. I'd have to examine exactly why it has this behavior before I can say whether it really has any value or is a pure bug.
