It appears that Rev defines the rect of a regular polygon to be the rectangle that encloses all possible rotations of that polygon. To see this, create a regular polygon as graphic 1, create a rectangle as graphic 2, in the message box "set the rect of grc 1 to the rect of grc 2," and then set the angle of grc 1 to various numbers.
This seems like a useful enough feature that I wouldn't call it a bug.
