I think it is (and I reported it as one some time ago).

The point of \transposition is to notate a Staff at a different pitch
from its sounding pitch.  When you combine this with other staves,
with different transpositions, the whole thing shoul dthen be
transposable.

I want to do this for vocal music, to match the capabilities of the
singer we have.  The accompaniment is for clarinet and piano, notated
with \transposition bes and plain; I want to transpose the lot down
afterwards by a tone ... 

I've just about given up using \transposition now.  Instead I notate
clarinet parts as

Clar=\transpose c' bes \relative c' { ... }

and then transpose the part up again in the \score block for MIDI
output.

It's a pain.
