Hail Alnitak,
Firstly, there'll never be post counts: I think we CAN enable them, but do not want them. Besides, we all know who posts most: we simply read the fora to see that ;)
Anywho, to the topic at hand, I see it at one, simple level: although there is obviously no way you can look at this realistically, if we look at the general physics of the skill...it directs itself at one critter. Once it hits them, why the heck would it go anywhere else? Sure, it comes back, but why did it leave in the first place? As for pure cheese factor, it's almost as cheesy as the pure cheese Lemmings eat! Why look further :P
I cannot recall if there was ever an official word or not, but it seems a bug to me. Given the way it has been working, I suspect it was on the list of things to correct in 1.10 - and what a list THAT must have been. I'll tell you what, I'm glad it wasn't my job ;) I believe there's a more general concensus here than it's a bug than there is on whether twinking is OK or not, so I guess that says something about our attitudes :)
