Bug in newsstand in ios7: unable to pinch to close?

If I'm in Newstand, there's no way for me to exit out of the screen where I select from a magazine or newspaper. Because the newsstand takes up the entire screen, there's nowhere for me to press to minimize out of newsstand. Also, the pinch gesture does not work in this screen. If I then click on an app, I can use the pinch gesture to exit out of the app and get back to the newsstand interface. I would like to enable the pinch gesture at the newsstand screen too.

iPad, iOS 7

I'm positive it's a bug: as a user I shouldn't care less if the Newsstand is a folder or an app. The inconsistency in interaction with default home screen objects is the problem here. We're told that apps can be closed with five-finger pinch. All apps ought to comply, no matter their innards.

The sooner Apple fixes it, the better. Don't remember any such problems with old Newsstand.
