It's not a bug, it was designed this way: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1790641#c11

That being said, I hate it, it's awful UX. If something is in the "Downloads" folder, it should never be automatically removed, it's not "Temp".

Not to mention that there's absolutely no indication in the UI that your downloads will be deleted. Also, there's no obvious way to make the downloaded file permanent, other than manually copying it outside the "Downloads" folder.

Comment on the bug. Private mode should save to a Downloads/temp folder, and the Download/Save UI should offer an "export/keep" function.
