This is not a bug. This is intended. Subdatasets have a specific syntax. 
Valid subdataset names are the ones reported under the SUBDATASET

This is generally true for the first level of access to a file, but once 
you want a specific part (name it "variable", etc), you have to comply 
with the nomenclature of each driver.
