It is by design. I tried to explain this behavior under the
section "Making a slice longer may terminate sharing" here:
http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/slices.html
The section "capacity to determine whether sharing will be
terminated" shows a way to detect whether sharing will be
terminated.
Steven Schveighoffer's array article goes into design and
implementation details:
