I don't think there's a bug here. As best I've been able to determine,
'athlon-4' is not a specific CPU identifier but a category of CPU, and
there are multiple types of CPU which fall into this category. The
processor you have seems to be one of them. (FWIW, my own 2200+ does
too; its only differences from your cpuinfo report are the MHz rating,
the bogomips, the cache size (256 vs. 512) and the model (8 vs. 10).)
