Sorry, I disagree, and I'm even tempted to say it should be closed as "not a
bug", because:
- the current behaviour is in direct link to the highlighting in the formula:
the latest argument added to the formula is highlighted in black (as shown in
attachment 122011);
- it is the same as when adding arguments by single click. Try this: click on
cell, type a comma, click on another cell, type a comma... Ctrl + click is a
shortcut for doing the same thing, result is the same.

This is distinct to selecting a non-rectangular cell range outside of formulas
with the Ctrl key.
- Ctrl + click outside of formulas creates a single, non-contiguous range, and
should be highlighted as such
- Ctrl + click inside formulas is a way to quickly add separate arguments,
which is why it only highlights one at a time

If the behaviour is to be changed, I think it should match the behaviour of
entering edit mode on a cell with a pre-existing formula: all arguments should
be highlighted with different colours, so they can be matched. In which case,
it's an enhancement.
