Need to make the screen shot smaller so it will load well, or just provide the link.

In any case, your answer is there: "Game drawn - insufficient material." Black is out of time and White has no material to effect checkmate. The game is drawn per the rules of chess.

I'm pretty sure this isn't a bug.  Even though you "won" on time, you had no possible way of checkmating your opponent with just a king if the game continued.  However, because your opponent ran out of time, the game was drawn.
