Yes, this might be a bug. For the partition which does not contain system files (/etc/*) should not be affected by this new feature. Could you please share the partition layout by running the following commands in Clonezilla live command line prompt
1. sudo -i
2. parted -s /dev/sda print
(replace /dev/sda with your device name)
Please let us know which partition is for /home.
Thanks.

Steven
