Maybe not?

instead:
Likely a bug, but not necessarily. The runner didn't have to go to third. He wasn't forced at that point, so he could have very well gone back to second, even as the (perhaps stupid) batter was trying to go to 2nd. Perhaps the runner who ended up at second was actually surprised at the bonehead play the batter made by trying to go to 2nd, as he was actually just off 2nd base himself.

Is this scenario likely? Not really, but it is possible. So, it could actually just have been a "weird play".
