P: Smart Object marquee tool cut pixel bug

Hello, 
Long time user, 25 yrs profesional retoucher. Discovered a random little bug today I thought I'd pass on. Using PS 2023 24.1.1 on various Macs, all "up to date" etc.
The bug is this:
If you make a marquee selection over a Smart Object you can then "move" those pixels by selecting the move tool and then using the keyboard shortcut arrow keys on the keyboard. I also was able to "move" some pixels and then even transform them wtih "command T" 
All of this is on a smart object layer, not an open smart object. Basiclly "editing" a smart object that isn't open.
Not sure if I can post a video if my discription isn't clear enough, and happy to pass one on if needed.
Cheers

That seems to go all the back to photoshop cs3.

Photoshop cs2, the first photoshop version with smart objects just gives an error.
