No penalty for requests rejection bug?

[Aristos]

I started a game with AggAI yesterday for the first time: 3.0.0.9.1 (didn't update because I don't see any real advance in the first "patches"), standard map, fractal, 8 civs, random personalities. I have Shaka as neighbour, and I rejected a lot of requests from him during the game.

But the known diplo penalty for rejecting requests never appeared. The strange thing is, it happened only with Shaka. Other's civs requests rejections produced the penalty as they normally do.

Is this a bug?

what requests are you rejecting, there is one category where you have two offers, Yes or no, and then another category is where you can reason with them

obviously I'm talking about the "dilemma" requests, which are usually penalized if rejected... it's really strange, I've never seen that before... or is there something I don't know from BTS that changes the "normal" behaviour of diplo requests? (like some traits or similar?)
