This is not considered a bug.

The new Exact mode works only with manifold meshes, and your plane is not manifold.
You can solidify it before the boolean to make it work.
See the manual for reference: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/modeling/modifiers/generate/booleans.html

While still no guarantees, the commit just mentioned makes this case work in exact boolean. Unfortunately, it is very slow. Much better results would happen if both operands were closed volumes.
