The stack inserter gets limited by the stacksize of the item, although inserters can grab items from multiple stacks, if the remaining stack isn‘t full enough.

All four are affected in the picture: http://picpaste.com/Untitled-QbKJRhAD.png

What's the actual "bug"?

It should grab 12 pieces, but it only grabs 10.

Are regular inserters able to grab more than a full stack of an item? Seems like that limit was put there on purpose

Regardless of the inserter stacksize bonus they can never grab more than the item stack size. That's by design.

Actually, a random thought: Why can't stack inserters always grab exactly one whole stack of whatever item?

Because that's not how we programmed them to work.

Sorry I asked.
