As my sibling already points out correctly, no need to flee, not completely dysfunctional at all and very very common in both functional, semi-functional and yes also dysfunctional companies.
At the point where I have _not_ done the bisect, I in fact do not actually _know_ who is responsible. I have a suspicion, a hunch, an assumption. Assumptions are bad and need to be validated. I can either let the other team that I suspect validate it. If it turns out that I was wrong, I have both wasted their and my own time and reduced my credibility. What then? I try to suspect another team and try the same thing again? That's what happens in a lot of large companies all the time. Nobody looks into anything and just tries to pawn it off to someone else. If someone tried this more than a couple of times with me, I definitely know what I would do the third time around.
They are more likely to accept a bisect from me, because it shows that I am not simply trying to pawn something off to them based on a mere assumption. It shows that I care and that I validate my assumptions and don't just try to pawn things off to other teams and play 'hot potato'. That would indeed be dysfunctional.
