I believe this behaviour was changed in GHC 6.4 or perhaps it was 6.2. I forget. Anyway, it was deliberate (I think!). Remember that you can include things from the system's standard include search path without specifying -I, so you don't always have to use -I. You only need it if you are using local .h files, in which case, the argument goes, why not be explicit about that fact? That's one rationale for the change.
