Not a bug. If you type CartesianProduct? you will see it is an
interator, designed to be used in a for-loop. These are much faster
than set constructors. Here is an example:

          sage: cp = CartesianProduct([1,2], [3,4]); cp
          Cartesian product of [1, 2], [3, 4]
          sage: cp.list()
          [[1, 3], [1, 4], [2, 3], [2, 4]]
          sage: cp.list()
          [[1, 3], [1, 4], [2, 3], [2, 4]]
          sage: for x in cp:
                   if 1 in x:
                       print x
          ....:
          [1, 3]
          [1, 4]
