You're mutating the list while iterating over it, which is causing the behavior you're seeing. This isn't a bug.

See for example https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6260089/strange-result-when-removing-item-from-a-list

Also, when reporting bugs in the future, please include the output you got, and how it differs from what you expected. It's difficult to guess.
