This is not a bug in ethers. Please read the instructions when opening an issue this should have been a discussion.

The HD path just specifies what path to compute the bytes for a private key from, and ethers will always compute the Ethereum account for that private key. If you want a Bitcoin address you will need to compute that yourself, or use a Bitcoin library.
