Yes you are right. It is a bug.
To everyone:
Despite appearances, this is not a bug ( thought it was too), and I have forwarded to Alex my information. I contacted the game designer, S. Craig Taylor, who verified that you can receive double points by shooting the crew first, and then sinking the ship. To quote him (Craig Taylor):
"Johnny,
"You get double the points for a prize because you remove it from the enemy fleet (immediately) and add it to your own (eventually). You only get the points if you sink it as it is only removed from the enemy fleet and just stays there on the bottom.
Craig"
Alex and Nick may wish to change it, as it does seem pretty senseless, but it is a legitimate tactic. I suggested simply keeping the national flag flying until all hull squares are eliminated. In the meantime, its still a secret weapon.
