How to describe this bug?

Hi!

I've discovered a strange bug that violates simple equational reasoning.
Basically, something similar to this:

let a = f x
in a == f x

evaluates to False.

I'd like to report this on ghc-trac, but I realised, that I don't know a
good name for behaviour like this. Is there one? "Broken referential
transparency", perhaps?

Thanks,
Sönke
