Is this just a bug in VRML?

Can someone please have a look at the code below, when using the code below
for a plane sensor it makes the PROTO Goal object hard to control (moves to
quick) and when offset is commented out the object is placed in the center
of the world. Can any explain why this happens.

Mo.

PROTO Goal [
exposedField SFVec3f position 0 0 0

]
{
Group {
children [

DEF GoalSensor PlaneSensor {
maxPosition 100 100
minPosition -100 -100
offset IS position #when clicked position is position
enabled TRUE # objects cannot be moved
}
]
}
}

It looks like, this is not the part of the code, that is causing problems...

Possibly, you made something similar to the following (translation is
overwritten, you may need a additional Transform here):

#VRML V2.0 utf8

DEF Transform1 Transform
{
children
[
Shape
{
appearance Appearance
{
material Material
{
}
}
geometry Sphere
{
}
}
DEF PlaneSensor1 PlaneSensor
{
}
]
translation 4.780868 0 0
}

ROUTE PlaneSensor1.translation_changed TO Transform1.set_translation
