You are in Lisp Interaction mode, which has its own indentation
rules.  Try this in Fundamental mode, and you will see the behavior
you expect, I think.

IOW, I don't think there's a bug here.  But if there is a bug, please
tell what behavior you expected and why.

To investigate this further, note that electric-indent-mode is ON, and
see the doc string shown by "C-h k RET".
