I don't think it's a bug per se, but it strikes me as a strange design choice. Why should I be blocked out in the footprint editor from using layers? Copper I understand, maybe edge cuts, but anything else? It's just an annoyance. Sounds like another "I don't see a use for it, therefore I'll block you from doing it"...
