Yes, it's a bug.  CC-mode's maintainer has fixed a few problems in that
area since 24.1, so 24.2 might work better for you, but there has been
further fixes since, so you might want to try a recent snapshot of the
Emacs trunk.  Also, those problems are difficult to track down and fix
because they're usually difficult to reproduce, but there are some flags
you can set that make CC-mode do extra work to double-check what it does
so that any problem is caught early and results in useful
debug information.

IOW, please try the Emacs trunk and if you still bump into such
problems, use M-x report-emacs-bug.
