uibuttongroup bug?

Hi,
I have a following problem: whenever I create an uibuttongroup, its type is then reported as 'uipanel' and not 'uibuttongroup' as would be expected.

The problem is demonstrated by typing:

***
>> h = uibuttongroup;
>> get(h,'Type')

ans =

uipanel
***

Matlab help on uibuttongroup property 'Type' says this:

***
Type

    string (read-only)

    Object class. This property identifies the kind of graphics object. For uibuttongroup objects, Type is always the string 'uibuttongroup'.
***

Is this a bug? I'm using R2009b.
Thanks
