I don't think it is a bug but a mechanism to prevent someone from getting op gear early in the game because you need to either

1. Find a runic pick in a higher level area or
   
2. Find iron or diamond in a chest in a village/mine shaft
   

but it is not impossible or all that hard you just need to explore more and get to a higher level area
