Really it is neither. What it really means is that you should study
Mathematica a little more. The second Plot is correct while the first is
basically nonsense. What you did is make Mathematica try to solve a lot
of "differential equations" like this one:
DSolve[{Derivative[1][y][4.166666666666666*^-8] ==
4.166666666666666*^-8, y[0] == 1},
y[4.166666666666666*^-8], 4.166666666666666*^-8][[1,1, 2]]
As you can see yourself this does not make much sense. It is not a bug,
just a very basic fact about the way Plot evaluates its arguments.
