Well, please accept that there *was* a reason for it in Ye Olden
Dayes, even if it seems not to apply now.  And there's a reason
for it now, as you've found: so as not to break 3P modules which
expect it.

This area was discussed last Summer and the dual-init behaviour
confirmed (at least for 1.x).  I think there may have been more
to the reasoning than just obeying the Principle of Least
Astonishment for 3P module authors..
