Sounds like a bug.  You normally use the `local' arg of add-hook for that.
Worse: they make it buffer-local and then they don't actually change it,
it seems: "only pain, no gain".

One more thing: is the hook set to nil, or is your hook function being
removed (i.e. do other hook functions stay on that hook, or not)?  Also,
does this affect the global value of the hook, or also the buffer-local value?
