[Paraview] Bug? VTK_QUADRATIC_EDGE

Hi,

I have an issue with the non-linear cell type VTK_QUADRATIC_EDGE.
In an unstructured grid, I made two disjoints VTK_QUADRATIC_EDGE with a SCALARS POINT_DATA (scalar field)
of value 1.0 on one and 0.0 on the other.
My problem comes when the two VTK_QUADRATIC_EDGE overlay on one vertex. 
In this case, Paraview seems to transform the discountinuous field in a continuous one.

To test this issue, I suggest you run my two little tests below. (In Legacy style)
I'm wondering if this is a Bug or a normal behavior?

REMARK:
This issue doesn't appear with the linear cell type VTK_LINE!


Thank you for your answers.
