[Qt-interest] QFileInfo doesn't work after QDir::setCurrent. Bug?

Consider this:
QFileInfo finfo("test.txt");
qDebug() << "exists:" << finfo.exists();
(Make sure "test.txt" exists in the current directory.) This prints
"true", as expected.
Now consider this:
QFileInfo finfo("test.txt");
QDir::setCurrent("/home");
qDebug() << "exists:" << finfo.exists();
This prints "false". finfo is not functional anymore and can't be used
to get any valid information about "test.txt".
And to top it off:
QFileInfo finfo("test.txt");
qDebug() << "exists:" << finfo.exists();
QDir::setCurrent("/home");
qDebug() << "exists:" << finfo.exists();
This prints "true" 2 times, and finfo works and can be used normally.
Seems that calling any method on finfo fixes this.
Have I found a bug in Qt, or is this normal?
Qt 4.6.3 and 4.7.0 beta1, both 64-bit on Linux.
