The way you want it, essentially allows you to pay him less, by releasing him a month before the season ends without consequence. He's only been paid his ML salary from April - August, but ML salaries are prorated by the game through September... if you can release him without penalty in September you've saved a month of salary. The game has it right in my opinion.
No, you misunderstand the bug. Regardless, it was verified fixed way back in version 9.0.23 and so isn't a worry now.
