There is no way to know whether this is a bug without knowing how AAA, BBB and ccc are related? From the names, can we assume that AAA is a (grand)parent of BBB? If that is the case, cherry-pick is behaving as expected.

See the DESCRIPTION in http://git-scm.com/docs/git-rev-list for further explanation, but the short of the story is that the second argument told it to ignore any commit before BBB, so AAA is not in the list of commits to be applied.
