As the person who wrote that bit of code, it happened in the API 0.6 discussion weekend a long while ago and was essentially added while we were speccing the API and no-one had any problem with the commit message bit. That's not to say it's wrong, but it's more just that JOSM supported API 0.6 very early on and got the code to match the spec exactly (if JOSM didn't follow the spec it could hardly be expected anyone else would)...
