Does bug reveal iTunes movie rentals?

It would appear that one iTunes user has stumbled upon Apple’s plans to host a movie rental feature through its iTunes Store completely by accident.
The user, one David Watanabe, was attempting to report a different problem to Apple via the Store’s pull-down menus, when he noticed something unusual…
"I was trying to report a problem via iTunes, and this pop-up for selecting a reason contains some interesting/revealing strings. It looks like 'RentalMovies' will be coming to the iTunes store."
Included in the list of bugs to report was ‘Accidental Purchase – Rental Movie’, ‘Did Not Receive Movie – Rental Movie’ and ‘Content Quality – Rental Movie’.
Rumours of an iTunes Store rental service have been floating around for quite some time now, but this is the firmest indication that there’s some fact behind them.
Current rumours would suggest that Apple’s rental service would offer films for a 30-day period, cost $2.99 and would allow users to play the films on either their computers, Apple TV or a second device, such as an iPod or iPhone.
