Yesterday, I had a discussion with some students about this issue during
my office hour. Now I have got the official answer about it.
I thought it was some sort of 'bug', now I would like to correct it. It
is not a 'bug'!

The strategy
"from A through X to F"
is the same as
"{ source: A -> X X -> target: F }",
but if you leave out the "source:" and "target:" markers, it considers
all nodes in the strategy graph to be both sources and targets of the
strategy. The "gather" method collects all objects corresponding to
the target(s) of the strategy, so in the latter case, it will collect
all A-objects, X-objects, and F-objects, while in the former case it
will only collect F-objects.
