I brought this up during the 1.1 dev schedule and if I remember correctly the response was "let's have it painted red" and it seemed like it wasn't considered a practical problem.
The reason I think this is an issue is the same reason that I get frustrated whenever I see a pull-style handle on a door that you need to push. I understand that people will 'get it' eventually but I don't think it's acceptable to ask the user to refer to documentation (or read the 'push' label) when the function is so simple and *seems* obvious. To me it seems like an obvious fix which has no obvious downsides. I'm assuming that get_absolute_url will continue to be available through the lifecycle of 1.x., so I can't think of a reason not to do it.
