No, this is not a bug.

---- quoting Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-devfreq ----
What: /sys/class/devfreq/.../userspace/set_freq
Date: September 2011
Contact: MyungJoo Ham <myungjoo.ham@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Description:
The /sys/class/devfreq/.../userspace/set_freq shows and
sets the requested frequency for the devfreq object if
userspace governor is in effect.
---- quote ended ----

set_freq shows the requested frequency, not the actual frequency value.

If you want to see the actual current frequency intended by devfreq,
use "cur_freq".



Cheers!
