Yes, that's plainly a bug, since the disassembled code is specifying
ebx as an index register, not a base register.  ie. In intel mode
we should be showing

   0:   8b 04 23                mov    eax,DWORD PTR [ebx+0*1]
   3:   8b 04 63                mov    eax,DWORD PTR [ebx+0*2]
   6:   8b 04 a3                mov    eax,DWORD PTR [ebx+0*4]
   9:   8b 04 e3                mov    eax,DWORD PTR [ebx+0*8]

or something like that.
