Yes and no. I agree that it is not a bug, but it is a QoI issue. There
should be a reasonable limit at hand to avoid wasting resources by
"attackers". What is reasonable depends on the use case of course, but I
would certainly think that a billion objects is much larger than any PDF
should ever contain. Part of the problem here is that memory overcommit
will likely result in memory allocations never failing but resulting in
OOM kills later.
