Maybe it has something to do with the MLB start?

From My understanding. Fan Interest is about getting new fans, Loyalty is about keeping the ones you have. To expect every City to react the same to any given situation/result is pretty unrealistic. There are times when you may have already tapped your base. Interest Is all about available possible fans that isn't already going to games, Lets face it, not everyone is a Baseball fan and no amount of winning will make all the people into one . The only way to truly know is to be able to reproduce an identical season multiple times and see if the game produces similar results. There has to be a certain variability factor or the Game becomes way too predictable. In my experience having a Single successful season is no cause for a mad rush of new fans. Having Multiple successful seasons over a course over a few or several years is how you build up a solid core of fans. And they leave a lot faster than they came. As with anything, there are exceptions to every rule. But when you Look at a Team Like Oakland we have to remember they Share a Fan Base with San Francisco where Pittsburgh gets theirs all to themselves.
I'm not saying it isn't a Bug, but I certainly won't believe it to be one unless there are a lot more than a handful of seasons produced as evidence.
