I don't really care what you call it (i.e. bug or feature), it is wrong,
i.e. not correct, with fault, etc. etc.; which should be obvious given
the definition:

	In overwrite mode, printing characters typed in replace existing text
	on a one-for-one basis, rather than pushing it to the right.

especially given the normal congruence between self-insert-command and
quoted-insert when not in overwrite mode.
