I do not think that it is a bug. engines are not perfect and this is what happens when programmers try to implement human knowledge. I am sure that a lot of humans will play the same blunder at blitz time control. Humans know that pawn endgame with 1 pawns advantage are in most cases won for the side with the advantage so they can easily imagine that 2 pawns advantage has to be a simple win and finding that the idea that c6 and b5 to create passed pawn does not work because white does not have to capture b5 may be too much for them in blitz game.
