Yes, that's a bug.  It's caused by the specification of a destination
file instead of a directory, so the generator (on the receiving side)
outputs about the remote file using its receiving-side name.  If you
specified ~/tmp as the destination, it would have said this:

    skipping non-regular file "other"

I'll check in a fix that makes rsync use the file's generic name when
outputting about the remote file in a single-file transfer.  Thanks,
