Yes, that's what I see:

$ python3 bug.py
Read 20 bytes using read()
Read 10 bytes using read1()

$ cat bug.py
#!/usr/bin/env python3

import io

raw = io.BytesIO(bytes(200))
buffered = io.BufferedReader(raw, 10)

data = buffered.read(20)
print('Read %d bytes using read()' % len(data))

data = buffered.read1(20)
print('Read %d bytes using read1()' % len(data))

There should be no problem reading 20 bytes with a single call to
BytesIO.read(), yet the buffered reader returns only 10 bytes.
