One way to think about this is that people should donate based on value that they've already gained from the project, not additional value that they expect in the future.
That said, for an active maintainer who is currently accepting donations (ESPECIALLY recurring donations), making a good-faith effort to deliver on requests from supporters (certainly bugs, and ideally features) is expected. Failure to make that effort doesn't mean you owe anyone anything, but it might mean you're a jerk.

If a donor feels entitled despite clarity from the maintainer, that's on the donor. If you want to pay the maintainer to work on a feature you want, the proper course should be to just contact the maintainer and work something out, no?
