This is not a bug, more a discussion. The latex output of any assignment produces := (Which is a definition in math, and it can be done this way)
However, if you look on Wikipedia, or most other resources, the simple = is used in most of the formulas.
This can lead to confusion for most of the users, because they are not used to it. On the other hand, professionals which know both forms would not be confused anyway..
I would like to propose to replace := by = for the toTex() output. Because it's also not produced by toHTML or toString methods.
And in a further step, let the user decide, by using either = or := in their math string, so the output is more explicit and predictable.
