Yes because getting a free shot is an unintended consequence of the way beam weapons are programmed. There is no delay between shots on beam attacks when a beam kills a target which is not how attacks are meant to operate. Blizzard also listed it as a bug fix in the patch notes when they originally fixed it. It is a bug. Now, I think the real discussion is whether or not this bug makes the game better. Bugs can improve a product and I think that should be the determining factor in whether Blizzard should remove it.
Personally, I like the Oracle and I enjoy the bug. I am biased since I play Protoss, but the Oracle did look like a clunky, bad unit in those gifs for the short time the bug was fixed. The affect this has on PvZ balance is important because the Oracle is commonly used to help defend against ling floods, whether that be at the natural or at a constructing third base. If the bug is fixed, buffs will more than likely be necessary.
