What type of bug are you reporting? Mechanics

What is the bug?
In Generation 4 and 5, the ability Frisk is supposed to only reveal one opposing item, randomly. This is listed on Bulbapedia and the description of the ability on showdown in Gen 4-5. Although, in battle when I was getting clips for a video, this wasn't the case and Banette/Stantler identified both held items.

This seems like a bug, although small, I thought I'd report it.

Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
Here is a replay of it happening in battle:

This is bugged in both Gens 4 and 5, but in different ways. In Gen 4, it should reveal just one opponent's item randomly, and it should also not identify which opponent is holding the item. It uses this string: [POKEMON] frisked its foe and found one [ITEM]!, where [POKEMON] is the Pokemon with Frisk.

Gen 5's behavior on the simulator only reveals one item, but it still incorrectly reveals which target holds the item.

It also uses a different string from Gen 4; [POKEMON] frisked its target and found one [ITEM]!
