Yes, it is a "bug" that was considered a feature in D5. If a doc team  
member edits a page ownership passes to them but if a site admin does,  
it won't pass ownership over because site admins have rights to the  
author info on pages. This has been changed in D6 book module so as  
soon as d.o upgrades to 6 this will stop happening.
