I recently reformatted and re-downloaded Lion. Until tonight I kept it as a "Hidden Purchase." That was accidentally done by clicking the X. I unhid it and noticed that Lion doesn't show as as "Installed", but as "Download." Giving me the option to download again. Bug or just the option to re-download that I was unaware of?
Got a tip for us?

Lion & App Store bug, maybe?

I recently did a fresh install to a SSD from a Lion USB key I made, and I see the same thing you are reporting. The App store now shows "Download" next to Lion for me.
