Issue with Sleep Talk / Roar?

This isn't noted in the Wiki and I haven't heard any other discussion of it, but I just ran into this.

When Roar is called ahead of priority by Sleep Talk, if the opponent hasn't moved yet, the pokemon that is dragged out will use the attack that the scared off pokemon was going to.

Example:

Playing in VTS.
My lvl 56 Terlard vs my opponent's lvl 50 Geigaroach

Terlard (asleep) uses sleep talk, sleep talk calls Roar.
Geigaroach is scared off and replaced by Misdreavus.
Misdreavus uses Nuclear Slash.

I'm not sure if Roar is supposed to give the opponent their action at all, but it certainly shouldn't cause a pokemon to use another pokemon's moves.

(also, Sleep Talk calling rest is still broken. I know that one's known about though)

can you recreate the first bug and get an image of the sleep talk roar thing happening? like when the opponent is using the wrong move? It would help the reporting

Sure!

It's rather difficult to time the screenshots, but I did my best. I've got a Fe-lazy here that knows only Sleep Talk and Roar, and I've stacked my team with level ones to try and get low-level (and thus low speed) opponents. Here, my opponent's Nuclear Nupin chose to use Thunderbolt, and I chose sleep talk. Sleep talk went first, scaring off the Nupin and dragging out an Orchynx, which used Thunderbolt.
   

I missed the moment for it, but the screen did read "The foe Pussycat used Thunderbolt!"

I can also get a video recording, at some point, if that's more helpful.
