I would not call this a bug, but agree the config should default to radio0 as that is always what is created by the system (unless you have multiple tuners).
What everyone has done since the dawn of time is go into the config and change the device to radio0 on first use.
The bigger issue is that all FM Radio appears to be completely borked in any Debian based distro using a 2.6.31 kernel.
Adding an FM radio plugin to Rhythmbox and using that as a player is the only solution so far.
Also affects kradio, radio (ncurses) and gkrellm-radio
