This was added immediately after the inclusion of mod_rewrite into the httpd
code (some years ago). I believe, the only one who can say, _why_ this was
added, is Ralf :).
However, I'll take a look into it. This was probably added in order to avoid
mod_rewrite-loops. Perhaps it isn't necessary any longer.
