No GUI command while playing

Can anyone reproduce this strange thing?

Because I sometimes want to take screenshots without the GUI I put ( bind G down "toggle noGUI" ) into my config file.
Today while playing with my brother I accidentally hit the G key, turning off the GUI.
And since I have tank labels on when in observer mode I immediately noticed that I could "see" my brothers stealthed tank via the tank labels.
My brother took some screenshots. Note: You can clearly see his tank on the radar on both, he is not in observer mode.
ST'edtankbehindwall ( I'm directly behind the wall seen on the radar. Only thing that can be seen is my tank label. )
StealthedTankCloseup ( I'm not on the radar, but you can see me and the tank label. )

Update: Using BZFlag 2.0.10

that is normal for an observer to see st tanks via labels if that is what you are questioning.

This is a known bug, and it is already fixed in 3.x.
It can't really be fixed in 2.x, as it requires everyone to get a new client.
