Bug or feature?: End-game nuke team message

[Admiral jimbob]

feature. Everyone in the game gets fried by the nuke blast, the game procs check to see who's alive but everyone's dead before that step.

Does this actually happen? I haven't played much over the last week or two, but at least recently, everyone on the station has still been alive after the blast (just hidden behind the message), able to talk normally and that sort of thing.
