To bug or not to bug...

According to the wiki NWN2's "bardic inspirations" are treated as "bardic songs" instead. However, my Bard just walked halfway across the Baldurs Gate server, without ever having to stop being inspiring. Songs are supposed to end after a certain duration, as far as I know.
Is this a server bug, a character bug, an ACR bug or not at all a bug?

Not a bug.

Per SRD, the Bard Songs named "Inspire <x>" continue to provide benefits for as long as the bard continues to perform. Usually plus some defined number of rounds. There are no rules for fatigue, except the bit implied by sleeping (though we might recite the plot of an "animal plays sportsball" movie and note that there's no rule that says you can't sing in your sleep).

The RP of it, of course, is that your character is literally singing up and down 500 miles of road. It's allowed; the only question from there is if it's appropriate, which isn't up to the TA or the game engine.

Thank you for that rapid response.
