Unfortunately, this is a feature, not a bug. The relevant code is in Python/ceval.c apply_slice(). Calls to s[a:b] get pre-processed before being handed-off to s.__getslice__. This behavior has been around so long, that it is almost certain that there is a good body of existing code that relies on the behavior.
