open and hollow aren't the same thing.
As for the bug, it would appear that it is (or was) so. The function
Create_Sor in sor.c does not set the closed flag. INIT_OBJECT_FIELDS,
defined in frame.h, sets the flag to zero (along with all the other
flags.) Thus, by default, an SOR object is not closed.
While this was a bug in version 3.0, however, It was not present in
3.1 beta 4, and I assume that it remains gone in beta 5. This one's
gone, ladies and gents; there's nothing to see here.
