I understand this, but there is a problem of consistency and, thus, of expectations. When you switch from vi to readline vi-mode (which any vi user using readline emulation will do hundreds of times a day) C-w defeats your expectations and you end up deleting too much and undoing the additional deletions. At least, it's no so bad as pressing C-w in your browser :).
