Not a bug, more of a PSA.
When you setup 2FA, there is no mandatory verification step in Lemmy 0.18 for now. That means you can log out without setting up 2FA in your app or software correctly. Be careful or you might lock yourself out of your account permanently.
Having worked on programming auth stuff before, that is absolutely a bug. It may stem from a mistake in planning rather than one in implementation, but that is unambiguously the wrong behavior.
Stuff like that is why I avoid 2FA wherever possible. It doesn't significantly improve my security because I always use unique random passwords, and it does create the risk I'll be locked out of my account.
