I would not consider it a bug - it is the same behaviour with real hardware.
Hot-plug features with real hardware is only available for SATA or SCSI.
I assume that making it available would be possible for virtual machines but I doubt there is enough demand for that feature.
Anyway - I would be interested in your special need - maybe there are workarounds.
