bug in "Merge Channels" with batch mode ?

I don't understand why the following macro closes the source image and just
displays the "RGB" merged image (use any RGB image as the source) :

macro "test" {
setBatchMode(true);
run("Duplicate...", "title=temp");
run("Split Channels");
run("Merge Channels...", "red=[temp (red)] green=[temp (green)] blue=[temp
(blue)]");
setBatchMode("exit and display");
}

tested with IJ 1.42k and the latest daily build.
Is it a bug or is there something I don"t get in the way the batch mode
works ?
