You are an idiot. Edit: You're not only an idiot but a troll...good one.
When you smelt nether ore it doesn't give you bars, it gives you normal ore. In other words, nether iron oreiscooked intoregular iron ore which can then be macerated. This is how nether ore was designed to work by the mod creator.
Taken from the nether ore page "Once you harvest one of these, you must smelt it into the drop you'd get from its surface form by cooking it in a furnace. Nether Iron gets you an iron ore block, Nether Redstone gets you redstone dust, etc."
Also, OP, don't sign your posts.
He's not trolling. This happens on my server as well. Like you said, it should have to be smelted first, however if you were to put it into a macerator, it yields 2 normal ore. So this should probably go in the bug section for any passer-by mods.
