I'm not sure that's a bug. It's more of an architectural choice.

Wget currently works by downloading a file, then, if it needs to look
for links in that file, it will open it and scan through it. Obviously,
it can't do that when you use -O -.

There are plans to move Wget to a more stream-like process, where it
scans links during download. At such time, it's very possible that -p
will work the way you want it to. In the meantime, though, it doesn't.
