What makes you think this is a bug? As a result of the butchering rewrite, the game now considers bone items to be "bone body parts," so this is expected behavior as far as I can tell.

That's why I listed it as "text." It doesn't affect gameplay at all, but it's not like normal talking, which could be confusing to folks who don't understand the new world of butchering. Sure, it's expected, but it just is phrased unlike how a person would expect.

I agree that it's awkward, but it's awkward in a way that was plausibly intentional (i.e. when Toady implemented this generic cancellation message, he would have known that the resulting phrasing would be awkward). It's not a bug, at any rate, just one of those many features that need refining.
