Fuzziness parameter disables cutoff_frequency in match query

As in the title, setting a value to fuzziness (even 0) will make the match query ignore the cutoff_frequency parameter.

In fact setting fuzziness to 0 and a cutoff_frequency, will return the same results of a match query with neither of them set.

Is this the default behavior or a bug?

I'm trying it on an index with only one shard and elasticsearch 2.3.5
