I would not consider an error or a bug, this is by design.

The openpilot system, by definition, is an Autonomous Driver Assist System that needs the car to be in Automatic mode. Manual mode means the driver is in control of the vehicle, not the ADAS.

Considering that most forks of openpilot (bluepilot included) offer a hybrid mode (MADS in bluepilot), it could be considered a feature request to allow the system to operate with the transmission in manual mode. Please change the label from "bug" to "enhancement," and the devs will look at it as time permits.
