We came to this because the Azure provider was adding the "daily" stream to the search path. Which meant that we would find the daily stream, parse it, not find anything and then stop. Without falling back to the releases stream which has the actual entries we are looking for. (We "solved" this by just removing the daily stream, which was also for other reasons.)
I did that, IIRC at a time when only the daily images worked yet but releases were the obvious long-term way to go.
The implied contract for the imagemetadata package seemed to be that it would consider only the selected stream, and ignore any other streams it found in the search path. From what you say, that's what Andrew implemented. Otherwise, what's the point of supporting a search path consisting of multiple URLs?
With the fallback, having both the daily and the release stream in the path allows users to select one or the other by setting just a stream name — no messing with simplestreams URLs in the most common case.
