Yes it is a bug. I don't think a ticket will be needed. A quick look
indicates that it will be easy to fix, so I will try to remember to do
it later today. If I haven't done it within 24 hours, send me a reminder.

I don't think this will be necessary, and it would not really solve the
problem in general. I think we already have a solution, but it is not
being used in the bar() method.

The call to to_rgb here seems completely unnecessary; cmap returns rgba,
and the color kwarg should accept that. All the to_rgb() is doing is
chopping off the alpha value.
