It's on the plan for M4. As Marco says,
inserting braces is a bit trickier.
It's usually okay to assume that the
matching peers of parenthesis and brackets appear on the same line.
For curly braces, this is less likely.
Therefore, the current behaviour of inserting parenthesis and brackets
is not applicable for curly braces.

Is it a bug?

Someone will have to correct me on this, but I believe that I read somewhere
that the same functionality was being brought to braces.  I think
that there
might have been formatting issues -- while inserting a closing paren or
bracket is pretty easy when it comes to formatting, inserting a closing
brace
could be a bit trickier.
