It's not really a bug, though the English usage is not what many in the
United States have been taught.  The use of third-person, plural
pronouns for general or unknown gender singular subjects goes back to
Shakespeare's time.  Fowler's English Usage speaks about it and seems to
say it's acceptable now.
