Yes, it is a bug and I think this used to work in the past.  Please file 
a bug and then the appropriate individual might fix it.

I'm still on the fence on this change.  All the weirdness associated
with embedded symbols should be fixed first before the default is
changed.  And hopefully all the licensing issues with embedded symbols
has been hashed out as well (the license text on the gEDA website mentions
embedded symbols a little bit, this should probably be really explicitly
cleared up).

For one (just one) list of odd behaviors with embedded components look at:
