no bug in your case.
"first_notification_delay" is just to postpone the notification for a
(hard)status change, Nagios won't check the status during the delay
period.
in your example, a notification will be sent at 09-02-2011 07:17:41 to
reflect the critical event at 09-02-2011 07:07:41, no matter what
happened then.
