[Koha] Boolean operator AND shows up as highlighted term

We're using 3.10.05

When using the advanced search option (in both OPAC and staff interface) if
you enter more than one search term in the Search for box (author, title,
etc.) Koha highlights 'and' in the search results, and even truncated
versions such as England.  Being the catalogue for the English Folk Dance
and Song Society, we have an awful lot of biblios with England in them.
Here's an example:
http://catalogue.efdss.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?idx=ti&q=morris+dance&op=and&idx=au%2Cwrdl&q=Sharp&op=and&idx=kw&do=Search&sort_by=relevance
At first glance, I was worried it was actually searching on 'and' but have
tested it with a few biblios that don't have and in any form in them (not
easy to find!).  It only looks as if it's searching on 'and'.

Obviously we've got the highlighting switched on, because it's useful, most
of the time.
Other settings: QueryAutoTruncate is set to "only if * is added"
QueryFuzzy is set to "Don't try" to match words of the same base in a
search.

Are there other settings I should look at?  Should I file a bug?
