Well, it depends. It is a bug in a way, but generally it isn't, as 
different projects use different macros for building themselves as DLLs, 
so Dev-C++ probably "thinks" that you will look at the compiler settings 
anyway and adjust them for your needs.

For example, I know of one project, which adds this:
-DBUILD_DYNAMIC
when building as a DLL.

So Dev-C++ merely gives you a possible choice, but most often people use 
what they prefer.

However, if you look at it strictly, yes, it is a bug.
