Yes, if the scene requires very little parsing then only the render time
is shown.  In fact, if the scene requires less than a second of
rendering then this isn't shown either!   For animations, however, this
seems to be taken into account fine when calculating the average parsing
and rendering speed, and I wouldn't say I think of this as 'buggy'
behaviour myself.
