Trippy,
This is an interesting model. The short story is the cross member part is missing features and using cached features, near as I can tell. If you open the part and look at the timeline there is an impossible operation at the end. Offset was used to remove the trimmed solid ends of the pipe via the parameter value "-Wall". Offset does not offset bodies to zero volume.
[correction: should say Remove instead of Delete in this image]

My best guess is this part was made by Save Copy As from a larger assembly. It was not made as an activated component and may be missing some of the parametric inputs used to create it. I'm surprised it's not a base body because of this. So yes it's a bug, but only in that Fusion did too good a job preserving the part by using too much cache data.
If you open Cross Member and use Compute All you can see that the part changes. When inserted and with Break Link, a compute is done. So this is when you see the part change.
One more thing, to form the ends of this pipe the command Split Body should be used along with Remove.
