EV Training

Can someone help me understand this?

 

 

I'm EV training right now and as an example, I'm EV training one of my pokemon in speed while holding a speed EV boosting item.  I got all 252 EV's in speed and then I switched to S. Atk EV's.  I put the power lens on my pokemon which boosts S. Atk EV gain.  Now the part I don't understand is if I battle a pokemon that supply's a speed EV and defeat it I gain EV's in S. Atk even though the pokemon doesn't supply S. Atk EV's.  This only happens when I'm maxed out in Speed EV's and holding a S. Atk EV boosting item.  Is this intentional or a bug? Does the item convert the speed EV into S. Atk?

The 'Power" Items that boost specific EV gains just give a flat bonus of I think 8 EVs of that stat, regardless of the actual EV yield of the pokemon you defeat. so it should happen even when you aren't maxed out on speed.

Thanks. Good to know.  I always thought it boosted the specific stat until now.
