It's a feature not a bug. It allows a release that can be integrated by downstream components without having the genesis file finalized. Responding to SPO feedback about needing a dummy genesis on mainnet we altered the behavior so the node behaves as an 8.x node at the hard fork if the genesis file doesn't exist in the 8.12 release.
