It is not a bug
It is a design decision

It is easy to correct the problem by deciding that repetition of previous
position in the game is not a draw unless they happened twice but in this case
Deep Fritz's level in comp-comp games is probably going to be demaged because
repetition in comp-comp games is usually not the best move if the position is
not a draw and Fritz is going to waste time about more unimportant lines.
