I don't think this is a bug. \relative applies to the following music
expression. If there are brackets {} missing, this expression only
consists of the \tempo command and the rest in {} is just the next music
expression.

For Peter, or in general, I would suggest to put everything into the
brackets following \relative:

\relative c'' {
  \clef "treble"
  \key f \minor
  \time 4/4
  \tempo "Allegretto con moto"
  R1 | af4(\mp bf c) f | ef8( df8) c4 df8( c) bf4 | c2 r2 |
  R1 | af4( bf c)\< f \!| c8( bf) af4 g8( f) d4\> | f2\! r2 |
}
