Not sure if this is a bug, but certainly it could argued either way.

It doesn't seem clear from the originating Trac ticket [1] what the 
developers intended.

I don't see a report in Trac [2] so you might consider opening a ticket 
there.

Note that using the ''post__in" argument for specific post IDs will also 
return sticky posts in the query.
