It is not a bug, you can set static front pages.
Login to wp-admin
go to Dashboard->settings->reading
Choose Front page displays, select a static page and save, It should work.
Edit: btw, if it does not work for you, which version of bp+wp/wpmu you are using.
Thanks for the feedback Brajesh,
But let me clarify the problem a bit further…
I actually have had no problem setting the homepage as a static page on Dashboard->settings->reading.
The problem, is that once I do so, the Blog is ALSO set to the same static page.
I need a static page on the homepage AND posts in my blog (at the same time)
Not the same static page as homepage and blogpage.
Any ideas?
If this looks like a bug, please file a ticket.

sorry, I was confused earlier. Thanks for clarifying.
Yes, It seems to be a bug, but it has to deal with the buddypress theme only. I checked with older theme and the same issue as you mentioned were there too.
Please put a trac ticket as Andy mentioned.
I had this problem. If you choose to use a static page as front and then use another page as the blog it wont show the blog posts when you go to url.com/blog I had to name the blog page something else.
on my site: http://horrycountyonline.com when you login, it doesn’t show on the home page….. but if you click any of the other tabs, you are logged in….. any ideas?
