There's no bug there. To do what you defined as the
"correct" behavior, there would need to be two sets of
axis: the constraint axis (the blue line in your
screen shot. This is what you are locking to BTW, not
the X-axis) and an "align" axis (in this screenshot,
the Y-axis).

Once again, it's a matter of interface, ease of use
and bloatedness. There's a limit to cramming features,
at one point, there should be a separate tool.
