It is not a bug. Commands like -mi estimate- work with the 
returned results (e.g. the matrices e(b) and e(V)) and these
are not affected by the -or- option, so the results should 
not change. Instead you should tell -mi estimate- directly
that you want the exponentiated results by specifying the
-or- option within -mi estimate-:

Hope this helps,
