That does sound like a bug somewhere.  There's no reason that an
Ethernet interface with a given MAC address can't have more than one IP
address, though.  I've run web servers with dozens of IP addresses bound
to a single NIC.

I'm not familiar enough with the DHCP protocol to say whether or not a
DHCP server should hand out more than one IP address to a given MAC
address, but I suppose if a client asks for more than one, then it will
be granted.

Can your DHCP server do DHCP reservations?  It may keep that other IP
address from being assigned.  I find DHCP reservations to be a good
idea for fixed devices like servers, printers, etc.  I use them for the
SB's on my home network as well.
