Yes. WinBoard isn't programmed to change castle rights when a game ends. Complain to the writers of WinBoard. Slim chance they'll listen though.

Winboard will give 'c3' as EP square in the following position too:

8/8/8/8/R2p3k/8/2P5/7K w - - 0 1
1. c4
8/8/8/8/R1Pp3k/8/8/7K b - c3 0 1

The following works under XBoard. Since WinBoard is a port of this program, I assume the same behaviour can be found in WinBoard.
Other (WIN/X)Board weirdness: Try to find out what the possible moves are in the following position, according to Win/XBoard:

W: Kg2 Pf4
B: Kh4 Pg3 Pg4 Ph5
Black to move.
