Why hasn't this Facebook sharing bug been fixed?

Anyone that manages a Facebook brand page will know what I'm talking about here. On far too many occasions to ignore, sites with Facebook sharing or like buttons are completely broken when a user visits the site using Facebook as a page.

At first I thought it was just a small bug but after noticing more and more sites that suffer from this I can't understand why it hasn't been flagged up and fixed yet.

Here are some examples of sites.

These are just a couple that I've noticed in the past few hours...

Any ideas on why this glaringly obvious error has not been rectified?
