Is this a bug in iota?

You've gotta be kidding. How can this NOT be a bug ?

import std.range, std.stdio;

void main()
{
    auto r = iota(3);
    //writeln(isInfinite!r);
    assert(!isInfinite!(int[]));
    assert(isInfinite!(Repeat!(int)));
    //assert(isRandomAccessRange!i);
    writeln(r.front, ", length: ", r.length, " empty ? ", r.empty);
r.popFront();
    writeln(r.front, ", length: ", r.length, " empty ? ", r.empty);
r.popFront();
    writeln(r.front, ", length: ", r.length, " empty ? ", r.empty);
r.popFront();
    writeln(r.front, ", length: ", r.length, " empty ? ", r.empty);
r.popFront();
    writeln(r.front, ", length: ", r.length, " empty ? ", r.empty);
r.popFront();
}

Returns:
0, length: 3 empty ? false
1, length: 2 empty ? false
2, length: 1 empty ? false
3, length: 0 empty ? true
4, length: 4294967295 empty ? false
