Bridging a network segment to itself can indeed cause some problems.
Folks who have had their network setup by the ISP, and who opt for
wireless have everything on one segment - and at least some of the
"firewall"/routers supplied by the ISPs don't detect bad bridging.
So it'd be problems for the folks least able to just whip out a sniffer
and figure out what's gone wrong (and detecting improper bridging can be
hard even with a sniffer).

IMHO, best to do what they did - but doc it, and maybe add a "are you
REALLY sure?" additional right-arrow needed in the setup.
