Declaring phony rules in makefiles

I've been using the .PHONY directive in makefiles to declare when targets do not represent "real" files.

I've noticed that the .PHONY statements show up in the "Outline" view; in fact, they appear to look like targets themselves. I've highlighted this in screen capture shown below. This seems like incorrect behavior. I would have expected only the targets (i.e. all, test, and clean shown here) to show up in the outline view. Is this a bug?
