The way it was "before" is that we always returned the value of "doIt". Why not restore that for consistency ?

It does look odd. Focus would need transferring in both cases I'd expect.
 It goes back to the very beginning of open source JDK so I can't see a changeset to point to in order to explain it. 
And I also can't find any bug reports that might be related - either one about adding it, or one about things not working because it is not always executed.
