I don't think this is a bug.
Such message occurs when you don't put any SRX file in the field for the path to the SRX file (just below the option "Segment the source text using the following SRX rules:")
Make sure to select an existing SRX file (e.g. there is a default one in the config sub-directory of the installation directory)
You need also to make sure the events arriving to the Segmentation step are filter events. So you need a Raw Document to Filter Events step just before the Segmentation event.
See http://www.opentag.com/okapi/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_Create_a_Pipeline_in_Rainbow for some example of pipeline.
