I absolutely agree with you that the application's behavior is a bug from most users' view (because obviously not consistent with what is expected).
Side note: I've experienced strange behavior concerning recurring events in other calendaring software as well ;-)

However, I can't tell if this behavior is "as designed", if it works differently than designed, or if this use case has not been designed at all, and now just happens to behave strangely.

But definitely the effect of the user's actions in this case is not what he would expect; I vote clearly for a more intuitive behavior.
