I just played White Shrine, and (counter to my experience with playing it in the past) only had an increase in one facility.

I believe that my facilities were equal before playing White Shrine... but I've done so before several times, and never seen this particular behavior.

Is this a bug, or is it working as intended?

Well, I think that your facilities were 5/5/5 before playing. In this case both facility increases are chosen at random. There is a 1/9 probability that only one facility is chosen and it will be increased by 3. So it worked as was intended.

Yeah; as per OP, I'm pretty certain that my facilities were at those amounts, as well... but since the result was especially odd-seeming, I figured it was worth checking out.

I guess it violates my understanding of the game syntax; I'd assumed that the highest facility would be incremented before the check for lowest facility would be made, thus making this particular possibility impossible.

(Incidentally, if both are checked at the same time, and assuming I'm estimating probability correctly, I'd estimate a 3/9 chance of this particular sequence happening, assuming equal facilities to start: 1/9 for any given facility to double up, but 3 facilities that might have this occur triple the odds)

Yeah, the conditions are checked at the beginning. Maybe it would be a good idea to add this somewhere to game manual. 1/9 is the probability of the event you presented in your screenshot. So, you correctly evaluated that possibility of such thing happening with any facility is 3/9.
