It is a bug in the sense that the filter does not allow you to use nothing instead of an array if only 1 array is present. The filter should allow you to select "None" in the vectors field when vectors are optional. It is not a bug in the sense that the normals that are in the file are not appropriate for computing the orientation of the tube - this feature is used to generate oriented tubes that show the rotation along a streamline.
