It's a bug. Users should always be able to configure the relays they read from or write to in a client according to their preferences.
That said, clients should have sensible defaults for users who don't yet have a kind 10002, and they should follow the outbox model for where notes should be read from and written to.
That should be as far as is needed for clients geared toward non-technical users.
Clients that want to support power-users should also include the ability to see a feed from a particular relay or set of relays, even if it is not their usual set of read relays listed in their kind 10002, and they should give users the option to write to a specific relay or set of relays on a post by post basis. If I want to write only to a community relay, I should be able to do so without it being listed in my standard write relays.
Clients that want to appeal to both new users and power users should hide these advanced features by default, but have the option to activate them in the settings with an "Advanced Mode" toggle.
