Not quite :-) The CVSTRAC tracker has been closed and the replacement
mechanism is described at http://www.sqlite.org/src/wiki?name=Bug+Reports

In cases where it was obvious that the issue was a bug then I copied it over
to the new one http://www.sqlite.org/src/timeline?n=200&y=t

In cases like this one it is not necessarily a bug and I don't have enough
knowledge to make the call.  That is why the suggestion to take it up with
this group where there are people familiar with the standard and the
behaviour of other databases.

Which is exactly what we want to know :-)  If the SQL standard specifies it
then it is a very strong candidate for fixing.  If all other databases do it
then that is also strong.  When only a subset do then that is not good.  If
it alters the behaviour compared to previous SQLite versions then breaking
that backwards compatibility would require exceptionally compelling evidence.
