DHCP Server Bug?

On multiple occasions i've noticed the DHCP Server on the sophos try to hand out an IP that is explicitly RESERVED on the sophos. Is there a known bug on a bug tracker i can contribute to? 

 

The only workaround i've figured out is to turn off the Internal DHCP Server Scope on the sophos and immediately turn it back on so it flushes cache/appropriately hands out a different ip to a requesting machine as opposed to hammering a reserved IP down its throat lol

I've seen this across a few revisions, but the problem has occurred so frequently now that i figured i'd post. we are on Firmware version 9.510-5

    The attached picture is the current reservation on that IP.

     

     

    SEPARATELY, while monitoring for this client's issue, i saw the following in the logs for another client. This time though it actually recommends something to do, but i figured a DHCP reservation should supercede and the DHCP server should simply know not to hand it out? I mean that's how it's SUPPOSED to work lol

    Have i missed a crucial configuration step on the sophos?

    BTW the Lease time is set to 1800, a relic setting from a scope move, but i believe this should not be relevant to the issue unless it pertains to a bug
