dont think that's a bug. that task probably same like train player special ability/new position with task reward. you cant use reward but have to train yourself.
since you send your player to academy, when you get the player it's as if you get new player, when you send him out if you have full squad 28 players you can sign another one to replace him and when he comes back you need to sell/sack 1 in order for him to join your team.
in your case the player isnt train by you to gain stars so your task didnt count it, they count it as you buy new player. something like that
