I am not sure, this is a bug, but definitely strange behaviour.

If user changes his/her signature in the profile, all signatures, even in old posts, that belong to user also become this new signature. I think, that older posts should not be changed.

Is it a configurable option ? a bug ? a feature ?

This is normal... signatures are not saved to a post but to a user.

Moved to Help & Support.

May be it will work better, if signatures will be saved along with the post ? It will increase the database size, but will save one SQL query per post ? And in this case signature will remain the same during each post lifetime, unless user changes message text.

It will only increase the database's size. It doesn't take any extra queries to show the signature of a user.

This also ables a user to update contact information in his signature a lot easier.
