Thats not precisely what he was asking, I'm sure the OP was expecting
a sequence like a,b,a,b,a,b , he wasn't expecting additional values to
be output when defining the cycle variable.
I don't think this is a bug, just (undocumented) feature. I'm pretty
sure it's working as intended. Remember the use case for this is using
it outside of a loop and mainting cycle state, so something like so:
<tr class="{% cycle "a" "b" as rowstyle %}">...</tr>
{% for row in rows %}
<tr class="{{ rowstyle }}">...</tr>
{% endfor %}
{% for row in other_rows %}
<tr class="{{ rowstyle }}">...</tr>
{% endfor %}
IE, it maintains the state of the cycle parameter between for loops.
Where I havent had the need to output an initial value, I've just
output it in a HTML comment. Simple and works.
Cheers
Tom
