I checked with a local UEB expert, and she agrees that this is a bug.

I’m not an expert either but this could be relevant:
Rules of Unified English Braille (ICEB 2013)
Section 10.7.4 says:
Use the initial-letter contraction for "ever" when the stress is on the first
"e" and when the letters are not preceded by "e" or "i".
An example they give when it shouldn’t be used is:
eversion ⠑⠧⠻⠨⠝
"reverse" similarly has the emphasis on the second "e" so it would seem as if
"ever" contraction should not be used in this case.

I don't know the exact rules, but many contractions are allowed in UEB which
were not allowed in EBAE. For example, "sphere" can be written "s p dot-5 h".

Using en-ueb-g2, the word "reverse" is being translated using "ever" rather
than just 'er". I'm not a UEB expert, but I'm suspecting that this is incorrect.
