I don't think that's a bug: this seems to be handled -- see parameter
`require-timed' in the doc:

    ┏━━━━┫ C-h v org-agenda-time-grid ┃
    ┃ org-agenda-time-grid is a variable defined in `org-agenda.el'.
    ┃ Its value is ((daily today require-timed)
    ┃  ""
    ┃  (800 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 2000 2200))
    ┃ 
    ┃ Original value was 
    ┃ ((daily today require-timed)
    ┃  "----------------"
    ┃  (800 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 2000))
    ┃ 
    ┃ 
    ┃ Documentation:
    ┃ The settings for time grid for agenda display.
    ┃ This is a list of three items.  The first item is again a list.  It contains
    ┃ symbols specifying conditions when the grid should be displayed:
    ┃ 
    ┃  daily         if the agenda shows a single day
    ┃  weekly        if the agenda shows an entire week
    ┃  today         show grid on current date, independent of daily/weekly display
    ┃  require-timed show grid only if at least one item has a time specification
    ┃ 
    ┃ The second item is a string which will be placed behind the grid time.
    ┃ 
    ┃ The third item is a list of integers, indicating the times that should have
    ┃ a grid line.
    ┃ 
    ┃ You can customize this variable.
    ┃ 
    ┃ [back]
    ┗━━━━

However, that's not clear to me (yet) what's `remove-match'.

Best regards,
