After discussing with another user I understood that : there is no security check on autostart scripts, therefore in a way there is no "bug". There's perhaps a missing feature. That's one point of view.
On the other hand, the fact that the program that interprets the .desktop file freezes or crashes on something that is not interpretable is a "bug" of the interpretor, because it should instead bypass (and warn about it). Now, the issue is not a rethoric one about calling this a bug or not. The issue is where to report this problem so that it has a chance to be fixed ? - here in the bug report ? - in a feature request ? If so OK I will do it this way.
