The option value was changed?  I don't think so.

The standard value (labeled "original" in `C-h v') is changed
each time the sexp is evaluated.  But the option value is not.

The option value was not changed at all in the recipe Noam gave.
It was and remained exactly what it was from the defcustom.
The mere fact of entering Customize did not change its value,
and nothing else changed its value.  It still has the original
value from when the defcustom was evaluated.

See above.

Correct.  And nothing changed the option value at all.  Not
that way or any other way.  It remains as it was from defcustom.

See above.  Do you still think this is not a bug?
