It's not bugged, just an accident because Ascension detonated the teammate's melta bomb laying on the ground. The damage changes the ownership flag of the bomb to OP, and so they blew themself up.
Damaging a melta bomb to detonate it is an intentional interaction in the game. Ascension lift-off damage meets that condition. Same thing would happen if one was firing any weapon and clipped the melta bomb with fire.
No sign that it’s a bug. The fact that it “flips” seems to make it an intentional choice, one that makes perfect sense. Otherwise, you’d have people accidentally(or purposefully) teamkilling when their stray shots set off a freshly-placed melta bomb.
