Import stereo as dual mono bug

When you choose import stereo audio as dual mono, Vegas increases volume +6db per track. Am i doing something wrong or is it just a bug?

My guess would be neither. It looks like a feature to me. When it was stereo, it sent something different to both ears, for a combined double volume. Once it is converted to mono tracks, the volume (or the amplitude of the wave) needs to be doubled, which is accomplished by increasing the volume by about +6 dB.
