To split hairs, the bug is in MacOS - its fsync() does not flush data to stable storage. Go 1.12 includes a workaround for this MacOS bug.

To split further, it's a MacOS design flaw, with a published workaround. It is a bug to fail to use the workaround :-)

I don't know if Apoke really acknowledges it as a bug or flaw. Their man page for fsync reads like an intentional misunderstanding of fsync semantics.
