No, the changing of the disk's name is not a bug.  It will *only* occur if you
have both selected the disk's icon and then moved the mouse such that it
points to the disk's name, causing the arrow to be replaced with the standard
"insertion point" marker (similar to a vertical bar).  The disk's name is a
piece of text, and is subject to all the standard editing capabilities and
contstraints, once you have selected it -- you can select all or part, cut,
paste, etc., and since initial selection of the icon and name indicates to
the finder that you want the "whole name", a backspace in edit mode will,
indeed, delete the whole name.
