it is, but it's a little confusing here because the library/consumer of the library are the same person.

This is a bug in the library, namely in Bun's PathString implementation. The bug is a soundness issue, precisely because usage of Bun's PathString implementation allows for UB in safe rust. Now this buggy library isn't that big of a concern for the community, because Bun is the only consumer. It's not also an indication of a compiler bug, because Bun's library is implemented using unsafe rust. But the fundamental issue is that usage of Bun's PathString implementation allows for UB in safe rust, and is therefore (clearly) unsound.
