It's not a bug.
Citing the specification:
| strip_trailing_dot Type: boolean Default: false
|
| If this option is set, a trailing dot at the end of a domain in an address
| is ignored. If this is in the envelope and the message is passed on to
| another MTA, the dot is not passed on. If this option is not set, a dot at
| the end of a domain causes a syntax error.
