I agree. I was bitten by this as a Java developer in a hobby open source project, and even if at some point I understood why things where the way they are, I do not remember the reasoning, and I still find it confusing that it did not work as I expected it to, nor what steps I were supposed to take instead to resolve the problem at hand.
I understand that this is not a very common problem or a high-priority issue, and I would have accepted that it was down-prioritized to the point that it will take a long time to resolve, but the current "works as intended" approach is still a bit hard for me to swallow.
