When you add a new component, you don't trigger the code you are mentioning. editcomponents.cgi line 237 is for existing components, not to create new ones. So you must have something wrong with your installation. Anyway, I just tested with Bugzilla 3.2.4, 3.4.1 and 3.5, and also on Windows, and I cannot reproduce your problem.
