Yes.  This is the intended behavior.  The function's doc string says:

  This command must be bound to a mouse event, and can be reliably
  invoked only from the menu bar, otherwise it could decide to silently
  do nothing or signal an error.  Use ‘kill-current-buffer’ if you
  need to invoke a similar command from keyboard.

This is not a bug.
