It's clearly not a bug.  A misfeature maybe, but not a bug since code
was written explicitly for it.

Anyway my point is that the difference between defcustom with and without
a * is in practice absent and in theory much too subtle and debatable to
justify its existence (after all, who knows whether users will want to set
something interactively or only at startup).
I suggest we just get rid of the distinction altogether.
