Well, as the e.p. square here is only used to decide if the following move is legal, and not for determining if positions are different for hashing or applying the 3-rep rule, it is not a bug to consider that e.p. rights exist when no Pawn is present to enjoy these rights...

Yes, precisely. Note it is also necessary to remember the en passant square for the purpose of writing FEN strings, even if there is no pawn present to effect the en passant capture. See last paragraph section 16.1.7 of the PGN specificiation :
Quote:
An en passant target square is given if and only if the last move was a pawn advance of two squares. Therefore, an en passant target square field may have a square name even if there is no pawn of the opposing side that may immediately execute the en passant capture.


Yes, that has been one flaw in the FEN specification that should have been changed as it makes absolutely no sense.
