Sorry this is no bug.

You should use /CELL_FILL instead of /FILL with maps.

CELL_FILL


Because of the handling of missing_data I always use /cell_fill
without maps too.

Set this keyword to produce a filled contour plot using a "cell filling"
algorithm. Use this keyword instead of FILL when you are drawing filled
contours over a map, when you have missing data, or when contours that
extend off the edges of the contour plot.
