[Elecraft] Dial LOCK Behaviour - Bug or Feature?

When I hold LOCK on my K2, frequency locks even if the tuning knob is 
moved, say by accidental nudging. This is as expected. But when I hold 
it again to restore tuning, the rig jumps to a different frequency, 
presumably wherever it would have gone while the knob was turning if 
LOCK had not been engaged. This seems wrong to me as it negates half the 
utility of the LOCK function. There is no way anyone could want to jump 
to an unpredictable frequency based on blind tuning or accidental 
nudging. But many people will often want to stay where they started out. 
Both the MP and the 930 work that way. I think this is a K2 firmware bug 
(or perhaps a bug in my build).  Does anyone agree with me?
