My guess is that your transaction transferring from A to B is what's
causing your issue.  You say "transfer an equivalent amount of shares of A
for 3000 USD to stock B", what exactly do you mean?  And what does the
transaction look like?  My guess is that that transaction is what's making
the report appear like it is.  So no, I don't think it's a bug in the
report.
