That would be a bug. However, a couple notes:
1) While I have that action set (for articles scored low, that is, -9998 to
-1), I rarely venture beyond the gmane.org list2news service these days
[1], and the gmane lists see little enough abuse that I really don't
actively use scoring... and probably haven't actually tested that setting
since 0.139's release and the bump to 0.140 for the git version. So
unfortunately I can't really confirm either way.
I need this setting for a news group with a couple of very active trolls I
have scored out for years. :-)
2) Did you build pan against gtk2 or gtk3? While the gtk3 build is said to
work in general, building pan against gtk2 is strongly recommended,
primarily due to reports of strange bugs that appear to only affect gtk3
builds. I'm not sure whether this is one of them or not, but if you DID
build against gtk3, try a build against gtk2 instead, and see if the
problem disappears, as other bugs people have reported when they built pan
against gtk3 have done when they rebuilt against gtk2.
(As I've said in replies to gtk3-related bug reports previously, at some
point we do need to fix the gtk3 bugs and get it working properly, as
distros are beginning to deprecate gtk2 now. However, as long as firefox
and thunderbird are built against gtk2, gtk2 is extremely unlikely to be
actually removed, and while that's on the horizon and firefox is actually
said to properly build against gtk3 now, I've seen no indications that
either Mozilla upstream or distros are actually switching to a gtk3 firefox
yet, so the threat /remains/ just that, a looming threat on the horizon,
nothing immediate.)
This is a gtk2 build. I have done a couple of gtk3 builds as well, but they
have other little annoyances in addition to the one I reported here.
3) FWIW, I run git-pan, built against gtk2[2] but haven't updated since...
May 4... as I've had other things on my plate.

[1] I have a block account with astraweb I think it is, but that's a
separate pan profile and I very rarely use it, so rarely I don't even
remember for sure what NSP I have!
[2] No gtk3 on my system yet, and if possible I intend to keep it that way
until I can upgrade everything gtk-based to gtk3 at once. That includes
not only pan and firefox, but claws-mail as well, and I have little idea
what their gtk3 porting status is, tho someone here mentioned that it had
been discussed on their mailing list, so I know they're at least looking at
it, but that's /all/ I know.
I'm a big Gnome-Shell fan and user so my system is fully infested with
gtk3. However, Pan is kept in gtk2 to prevent unpleasant surprises.
