Not a bug - Evasion clause is a combination of 3 clauses (evasion abilities, items, and moves) which are all banlists. They are not a modification to how the game works. Specifically it bans Sand Veil, Snow Cloak, Bright Powder, Lax Incense, Minimize and Double Team. The description for Evasion Moves Clause specifically states it bans moves that consistently raises evasion too.
