Depends on how the return statement is processed since it obviously has special treatment. But yes, that would be a bug probably if indeed the the return expression should never be evaluated due to the left operand evaluating to true. Nonetheless, it's a dirty style for a return IMHO since if the left operand does evaluate to false then the conditional is undefined as far as I can tell.
