Yes, it is on purpose:

ob: Fix block evaluation in a narrowed buffer

* lisp/ob.el (org-babel-where-is-src-block-result): Insert new results
  keyword in current narrowed part of buffer, if necessary. Small
  refactoring.
(org-babel-insert-result): Do not widen buffer when new results have
to be inserted.  Therefore, results inserted after the last block of
a narrowed buffer still belong to the narrowed part of the buffer.
* testing/lisp/test-ob.el: Add tests.
* testing/lisp/test-ob-exp.el: Move test to test-ob.el

May you elaborate about what kind of library you are referring to?
Please describe the actual problem you ran into.
