Is this a feature or a bug? - Wanted status due to incomplete scan

I fired on a ship that was attacking a third ship that I knew was clean as I scanned him earlier (both NPCs) so I knew the attacking ship had to be wanted. However, I was slapped with a Wanted status! I believe this is because I fired before my scan had completed (it did complete a moment later to officially tell me he was wanted and I got a bounty for the kill).

Is it a feature that we are not allowed to fire until the scan has completed?
If someone is firing on a friend I'm not allowed to defend him until my scanner says I can? Seems really strange but if it is a feature then I'm sure we can work around it...

would imagine that once wings are implemented this will be a real pain, maybe why they are talking about sharing scan data between ships in a wing...

It would be simpler than that even as any ship attacking you would be free to fire back on. They would only have to extend this to the winged group.
