Yes, that’s a bug. IMHO horizontal spacing in general is crap with 
magnifyStaff and differently sized staves. Look f. e. at the clef 
position in your second example, at the note spacing of the second and 
third example and at the ending bar line in the following cases:

\new StaffGroup <<
  \new Staff \with { \magnifyStaff #(magstep -3) } { R1 \bar "|." }
  \new Staff R1
>>

\new StaffGroup <<
  \new Staff R1
  \new Staff \with { \magnifyStaff #(magstep -3) } { R1 \bar "|." }
>>

I think horizontal spacing should follow either the largest staff or at 
least a normal-size staff. Also, it shouldn’t depend on the order of staves.
