Tele + Facing Wall, bug?

SPOILERS FOR VOLCANIC CAVERN LEVEL 12 TRAPPED

In this level, Box is Tele and Baba Facing Wall Is Empty. But when I tele and end up facing the wall after my tele, Baba does not turn to empty. If I press Space to wait another turn, then Baba does turn to Empty.
This seems counter-intuitive, and I almost didn't try it cause I didn't expect it to work, but this is what allowed me to beat the level.
So wondering if this is intended or not

I don't remember, but probably.
That sounds similar to what I did too but it was so long ago...

The game has an order of operations & you need to start figuring them out in order to be able to solve some of the puzzles.
This one I don't think ever comes up again, iirc (at least in the main game of the official level-set), but you can sure bet that PUSH and SHIFT come up all the time.

The game checks to see if Baba is facing a wall either before or after teleport, but not on both. This makes some sense given that Baba can essentially turn immediately if he is fast enough - which he will be, every time, because he operates with the precise timing of a computer's clock pulse (not literally but in terms of how the turns in the game work).

This is something that the game doesn't make abundantly clear but also makes no effort to hide & arguably even encourages you to figure out & understand.
It all starts with some fun, funny, & surprising little jokes where you break out of a sandbox & eventually leads to you constantly looking for ways to "break" the game ...because the game lays down its ultimatum requiring that you do so if you want to proceed.
These are the things you will either figure out or wind up getting crushed, trapped, and lost withing the depths of its ever-expanding maps.

...but if it ever gets too hard for you, there's always the level editor,
(at least, there is now) where you can forge your own fun.

Yeah. I understand that there is an order of operations, and I figured it must not check "Facing" after "Tele".
But to me it seemed odd that that would be the intended way to beat this level. So perhaps it could be an unintended solution?

Oh it totally looks like my way was unintended according to this Youtube Video
