confirmed
wp-config-sample.php
lacks the closing php statement
erm this isn’t a bug.

The one exception is wp-config.php where it’s best to leave the end tag off due to how easy it is for a novice and their editor to add a trailing
whitespace.

that trailing whitespace can be an issue, and cause the infamous headers already sent message.
the instructions tell folks to copy wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php on new installs. maybe not a bug, per se, but definitely a “glitch”
No necessarily a glitch either, it caught me out the first time I came across it.
If it is a user editable file, then leaving out the closing php tag is beneficial. I just wish that when they do it, they would leave a note in the file explaining why 🙂
