It's a bug for sure, since there are no requirements in the OpenGL specs
stating that life of the arguments must surpass the function call
until .. (which is not mentioned neither - of course not).

If a lifecycle is requested, ie some PBO buffers, memory maps,
then it is explicitly stated.

If you like - and I would love it - send an email to NVidia with our
findings, eg copy paste our little dialog (ie my email) and CC me
sgothel at jausoft dot com.

Thank you, Sven
