XF18-55 distance indicator is way off at wide end.

Hello there,
when testing the XF18-55 I've noticed that using AF, wide open, when I focus on something that is far off (let's say 10m to infinity) the focus distance indicator would show something like 5m (most likely the hyperfocal).
The focus is obtained perfectly though.
Now - when using MF this creates problems if you want to trust the distance indicator - when you set it to 10m, or let's say infinity - nothing is sharp.
This is also documented here:

and here:
http://www.tomen.de/fujinon-super-ebc-xf18-55mm-f2-8-4-r-lm-ois-lens-photo-review/ (the second comment below the review).
I'm using X-Pro1 with EVF, the camera and the lens being at their latest firmwares.
Can anyone else confirm the same problem or not so I can safely disable that crappy indicator and never turn it on again?
Regards
