Yes, it's either a bug or you're doing something wrong. :)

It's not really a bug, per se, but a limitation of the design.  POV really
only supports 4D vectors for use as colors.  Anything that wants a vector 
argument usually only wants a 3d vector.  I don't see anything being done
about this anytime soon.
