I agree. I was bitten by this as a Java developer in a hobby open source 
project, and even if at some point I understood why things where the way 
they are, I do not remember the reasoning, and I still find it confusing 
that it did not work as I expected it to, nor what steps I were supposed 
to take instead to resolve the problem at hand.

I understand that this is not a very common problem or a high-priority 
issue, and I would have accepted that it was down-prioritized to the 
point that it will take a long time to resolve, but the current "works 
as intended" approach is still a bit hard for me to swallow.
