That's not a bug, it's just a different behaviour. I can see the value in being able to reopen accidentally closed tabs, and if you want to get rid of that history, close the window. Given that Chrome keeps cookies for the window lifetime, I'd say that the fact it throws away history gives a false sense of security - they may not get exact history, but they can get some data still. If you want the behaviour you are describing, it sounds like the feature should be "private tab" not "private window".
