pacman 3.1.0 is not clear about updating itself

It's nothing bad, but when I upgraded pacman from 3.1.0-1 to 3.1.1-1 through pacman -Syu I got the "pacman has detected a newer version of itself" message but then was asked whether I want to cancel the current operation.
But that is in contradiction to the "pacman has detected a new version" message and yes and now still cause the old behaviour: yes upgrades and no aborts.
Nothing big, do you think one should post a bugreport for that (I just feel kinda reatardid opening a bugreport for something as little as this, but it's inconsistent and not clear what's meant, especially newbs might(should) get confused. I dunno if this "bug" (think it's just calling the wrong message) got fixed in 3.1.1 already since the version that produced it was 3.1.0.

In case you don't get what I mean, here is the output of pacman.

Please file a bug report. Seems like a legit complaint to me.
