danblack,
Why is it a bug? It is bad format.
As documented,

The first line should contain the name of the library object file, with no extension. The other lines list the names of the components. Each value should be on a separate line, and the # character at the start of the line indicates a comment.

Your file only contains the name of the library, no component names, hence the error.

Quite right, sorry. Not a bug.
