Encryption bug - It's really there

The following script will not function properly in an encrypted stack 
whether in a Distribution or the IDE.

on mouseUp
   put the short name of image 1 into theName
   copy image theName to this stack
answer it
end mouseUp

Try this yourself. Create a stack with one button and one image. Give 
the stack a password. Save, close & remove from memory, and reopen the 
stack. The script doesn't work. Provide the passkey. The script now 
works.

The Rev docs say that encryption is supposed to prevent users from 
changing the stack but that scripts are unaffected. Is this a bug?
