It is documented behaviour, so it is not a bug but a gotcha:
"You can have multiple Application.cfc files, Application.cfm 
files, and cfapplication tags that use the same application name. 
In this case, all pages that have the same name share the same 
application settings and Application scope and can set and get 
all the variables in this scope."

I think it would be neat if you could 'lock' applications and 
sessions so they can only be loaded after / during inclusion of 
the same application.cfc that ran the onApplication/SessionStart. 
In fact, I just suggested that to Macromedia:
