This is a misunderstanding. "Miltibyte" refers to the buffer, not to the coding-system. A multibyte buffer considers bytes as parts of sequences representing characters, whereas a unibyte buffer considers each byte as a raw byte that doesn't represent a character in some human-readable language. See the node "Unibyte Mode" in the Emacs user manual for more details. This is not a bug.
