Guild Wars 2

With or without the Illusionary Elasticity trait (increase the bouncing skills by 1) is only hiting 4 targets (3 bounces).

I also noticied that their bounce cannot hit the same target more than once. This skill is worthless, considering its high cast time.

I believe that IE only effects bounce effects on weapon skills. I’m not sure whether that’s intended, but that’s what I’ve observed so far.

If unintended, then yeah, that’s a bug.

EDIT: Reading the wiki page, it APPEARS that its intentional and not a bug.
