It's not a bug, see mount(2).

Ah, thanks for the clarification. Although
I'm still curious about the reason.

Here's the section included for the archives:

CAVEATS
     After a successful mount, the permissions on the original mount point de-
     termine if ``..'' is accessible from the mounted file system.  The mini-
     mum permissions for the mount point for traversal across the mount point
     in both directions to be possible for all users is 0111 (execute for all).
