As I explained few posts before, this is not a bug.
If you scan your HOME folder, the first entry is always 100% as it is the "root" of the subsequent tree. All the subfolders to HOME refers in percentage how much space they use vs. the HOME 100%. That's normal. If you want to see how much space is using HOME folder vs. the total filesystem, run a full File System Scan.

Further, Baobab show only usage of folders, not of files (there is Nautilus for this).
i.e.: if you have just one folder in HOME directory, which is using 20% of space, ther remaining 80% of space is in home/reubenf folder.
