That is correct. There are several reasons why I decided not to use BIP39 in Electrum. One of them was that BIP39 seed phrases do not include a version number. A version number is needed in order to maintain backward compatibility, everytime you change the address derivation. Electrum will allocate a new version number for seed phrases that should be derived to segwit addresses. I guess BIP39 designers will have to change the semantics of their checksum bits, in order to encode a version number for segwit.
