Upset with Bound Enchantment

So I saved my shards of Barkshield, okay they were bound (I mean I have never come across bound shards, Enchantments or Runestones before at all), and to get the Bound Shards was odd anyway.
For those you don't know the shards came from the Master of the Hunt reward Chest.
Anyway, I got a Coal ward and I was jumping up and down with excitement, I could finally get my Barkshield Enchantment for my DC girl, only my shards were on my GWF, not a problem I thought, I made the Enchantment then I'll move it over to my DC.
um....no....
For the first time ever - I have a 'Bound Lesser Barkshield Enchantment' Bound to character, not even to my Account.... A Character I don't use very often, okay my fault for making him I suppose, but I'm very unhappy with this, unless its an error, if it is can someone tell me, how this has happened and can I report it.

But as for my own experience.. I have never seen a Bark Shard that wasn't bound, and since I had no designs on the enchant on any of my toons that had them, I can only guess that any enchant I made would also be bound.
(Gotta love rewards that ... are no reward at all.)
its became bound because the shard was bound or because the coal ward wad bound?
And whenever I get bound shards now, i just throw them into rp >3<
if my memory servers well sloting the enchant and removing it intact, removes the bound status.
Making all refining and/or enchantments BoP will absolutely kill this game in the long run.

Thank you to all that have answered, I hope that this is not an issue in the future, but know I will be more careful in what I do in the future regarding anything Bound.
I think it used to work like this:
if you dropped one or more bound barkshield shards on to an unbound one, the status of the unbound one would stay but the number was increased. E.g. 1 unbound bark + 1 bound bark -> 2 unbound bark
(would also work the reverse, 1 bound bark + 1 unbound one dropped onto them -> 2 bound bark)
When they "fixed" the suddenly bound stuff from the Midsummer Festival they claimed to have also "fixed" the un-binding of the shard stuff.
Mind you, I still sit on lots of BtC Midsummer stuff (which should be unbound). When talking to support about it the answer was <according to ToS not written>, de facto to go and suck my toes.
You can use bound stuff as rp fodder, but not for the original enchantment that needs to be unbound and I'm not sure about the bind status of the reagents.
