I also thought 'runtime' is somehow equivalent

fire up the autocmd while :source does.
Is this intentional or can it be considered a bug?
       


I'd guess it was intentional.  The help for :source explicitly mentions 
that using it triggers the SourcePre autocommand, and nowhere in the 
help for :runtime does it mention doing so.  OTOH, perhaps its an oversight!
