It is not a bug. If you check your input file and you change the ireducible
zone representation you should look at your input original structure. If you
run an scf calculation and you look at the output you have a changed
representation which is by default the minimal one. If you carefully look at
the atomic distances you will find your cell parameters.
I know it's quite annoing :-) but you get used to
