No, this is not a bug. Unlike "eval", "load" does not use local scopes
(function scope, 'with' scope) etc. "load" always evaluates script using
global object as the scope. Because there is no "foo" in global scope,
the load throws ReferenceError for "foo". "eval" can see "foo" as eval
can use local scopes in non-strict mode. With "strict" mode, "eval" too
uses global scope always (does not use function scopes).

This is with jdk1.8.0_20.
