I don't consider it's a bug.
We maps "WAVE DASH" of EUC-JP (0xa1c1) to U+FF5E, not U+301C. U+FF5E
and U+301C look same, but there are different code point by some
reason I don't know. On the other hand EUC-JP has only one code point
for WAVE DASH. So if we want to do a round trip conversion between
EUC-JP and UTF-8, we have to choose either U+FF5E OR U+301C. We have
chosen U+FF5E. If we change the mapping, many existing applications
would break.
Same thing can be said to MINUS sign.
