It bugs me. Few activities override the back button this much. I feel like the official exit button in Android is hit the back button 7 times quickly, and I think the browser's behavior encourages this.
I understand that Android reduces the need for an exit button, but IMHO there are many use cases where it's needed. Largely for buggy apps. I frequently have to order Pandora on my Moto Droid to quit, so I can restart it and get it to work. Otherwise it just sits there with a black screen. I'd prefer it if the default browser had an explicit back item in the menu, and if the back key closed the whole browser activity (caching state).
