  As far as I'm aware, it's not a bug.

  AFAIK this behaviour is by design. I don't claim it's the best design,
but there's no programming error, but it works exactly as designed.

  The idea with partial renders is that you can for example put several
computers to render parts of a single image and then have a program join
all the parts. The rendered image is located at the beginning of the image
file in each result.

  I agree, however, that perhaps POV-Ray should support rendering in a
what-you-see-is-what-you-get (in the image file) way as an additional option.
