Please read the responses to this older report:
http://bugs.python.org/issue25391
As they say, it's functioning as designed and documented, so this isn't "a bug". For that reason I'm closing this as "not a bug".
As they also say, there are many other possible algorithms (LCS isn't the only other one in use). Opening an enhancement request instead (to implement additional algorithms) could make sense, but won't get anywhere unless someone volunteers to do the work.
