Is this a bug in pipe?

It happens when -buffering none and putting a string of length > 8192 into a pipe, or with -buffering full and when manually flushing.

 package require Tclx
 pipe out in
 fconfigure $in -buffering none
 fconfigure $out  -blocking 0
 puts -nonewline $in [string repeat H 8193]
 # hangs already here
 puts [read $out]
 close $in 
 close $out

same problem with:

 package require Tclx
 pipe out in
 fconfigure $in -buffering full -buffersize 1000000
 fconfigure $out -blocking 0 -buffering full -buffersize 1000000
 puts -nonewline $in [string repeat H 8193]
 flush $in
 puts [read $out]
 close $in 
 close $out
