I don't think it's a bug. If source is distributed as GPL-2+, you're
free to take it as either GPL-2, or any later version. As GPL-2 and
GPL-3 are incompatible, to link against GPL-2 sources, you must take
GPL-2+ sources under GPL-2 or you violate the license.

That said, I think GPL-2 is the best choice here.
