Its malfunctioning. Whether or not you want to call that broken is up to you. All the way to the rear it should lock the bolt.

X2. This is sounding stupid but is your firing pin assembled all the way to the lock and not 360 degrees back(1 turn)? Are you new to this rifle? Did you disassemble the bolt?
Do you know that there is three position to your safety? All the wary forward you can work the action and fire. Middle position (90 degree), you can work the action but it should not fire. All the way to the back, you can't work the action and it should not fire.
Okay, the bolt opens with the safety all the way back. Can the rifle be fired in this position as well..? or with the safety at the half position..? Since your new to the rifle. Does the safety lever feel solid in the three positions. Back - half way - forward. The lever doesn't feel loose or fall out of position easily.
I had one of mine one time act strange because the little pin that holds the lever in was loose. Check that out to see if the pin is secure and if the bolt is assembled properly.

The only way I could reproduce what you said on the two push feeds I have here right now was to rotate the firing pin out 1 turn. Hmm interesting what is going on there. I've never disassembles the firing pin on any M70, a K98K yes.
