Whether it is a bug is a judgment call.
Some parts of Org always call `org-fold-show-context-details' regardless
of current visibility. Some parts do not. (Namely, `org-mark-ring-goto';
`org-goto'; `org-bookmark-jump-unhide'; `org-clock-load'; `org-next-link').
If we take the docstring literally:
Alist between context and visibility span when revealing a location.
one may argue that "revealing a location" should only apply to invisible
locations. But then some parts of Org are yet inconsistent.
I am inclined to agree with your approach and remove all the
invisibility checks.
