It's not a bug. If you can't complete a season tree this time around, you can continue where you left off the next year. It's how it's supposed to work.
Don't expect this going into the next year, the only reason why we got last year trees this year is because CDPR prommised they would be multy-year then they went back on that promise at the start of this Gwent year, they got absolutely skewered for it by the community so they had to backpaddle and patch in the old trees.
But since then there has been zero communication about how this will work going forward to next Gwent year, and at this point it would not be surprising if all the trees from past two years will be gone forever after February 2021.
Personally I think that is a huge mistake as you lose a lot of cool art and all the Lore you unlocked in those trees for hundreds of reward points, and the trees should be persistent with each Season having a dedicated Reward Book page with all current and past trees.
