The routines Tcl_SaveResult() / Tcl_RestoreResult() are used
appropriately to keep "concurrent" uses of a Tcl_Interp from
stomping on each other.

Note that code written for Tcl 8.5 should prefer to use
Tcl_SaveInterpState() / Tcl_RestoreInterpState().

If third-party C code fails to use the above routines properly, yes.
That's a bug that would need fixing.
