simple spreadsheet question - hlines affecting formulas

[Sullivan, Gregory (US SSA)]

The following spreadsheet behaves as expected, and every time I hit C-c* on the "Total" row, the formula recalculates to 0.4

| Name  | Percent |
| Foo   |      .1 |
| Bar   |      .3 |
| Total |     0.4 |
#+TBLFM: @4$2=vsum(@2..@-1)

The following spreadsheet is exactly the same, and has exactly the same formula for cell @4$2, except that I've added horizontal lines.  I thought horizontal lines are ignored during calculations, but now whenever I hit C-c* on the "Total" row, the vsum seems to include the value of @4$2, which I expected would be left out of the "@2..@-1" range.


|-------+---------|
| Name  | Percent |
|-------+---------|
| Foo   |      .1 |
|-------+---------|
| Bar   |      .3 |
|-------+---------|
| Total |     2.8 |
|-------+---------|
#+TBLFM: @4$2=vsum(@2..@-1)


Is this a bug?
Thanks.

Relative row specifications do not cross horizontal separator lines,  
this is documented in the manual.
