It's not a bug, it's a feature

config BUSYBOX
        bool "Include busybox applet"
        default y
        help
          The busybox applet provides general help regarding busybox and
          allows the included applets to be listed.  It's also required
          if applet links are to be installed at runtime.

          If you can live without these features disabling this will save
          some space.
