By that definition of a 'bug', all bugs work perfectly as designed. I mean what is your definition of a bug then?
The DAO's code allowed a person to ask for money to be taken out before the balance was fully updated, this resulted in the attacker taking money out over and over and over.
This clearly was not the 'intent' of the creators or any of it's investors.

All code has bugs, but you dont go asking Satoshi to give your bitcoins back you sent them to the wrong address. "Oops that was not the intent".
