The purpose of the home button is to have this one particular site readily available at the click of a button. Most end users use this as their jump-off point. Having the Home in the bookmarks clearly defeats this purpose. So does having Home in a personal toolbar that I have to make visible just to click on Home. You may be technical about your definition of Navigation Buttons but most end users would consider going home as "navigation". Home is technically a shortcut, but conceptually it is more than that: it is a home. Otherwise there is no point being able to set it in the preferences dialog since you can just bookmark it with Ctrl+D.
