However, that's a situation under which the player must clear waivers before he can be demoted.
For the player to have been sent to AAA after being DFA, he *must* clear waivers.

not necessarily. he could be put back on the 40-man and then be sent to the minors, avoiding waivers. this is all assuming he has options left.
but then that means the bug isnt the "not waived" part, its the "not on the 40-man" part.
