Perhaps, but I'll leave answering that to the people who wrote it.
Presumably one uses it only in the form of putting `f` in some other
computation, leaving the printed output just for viewing, not for
computation.
I'm just pointing out that there are other times where pasting the output
of a command does not give the same thing as the output, and that it can't
always be treated as a bug. Matrices are another example where the string
representation is not 'useful' in that way. Whether it raises an error or
not would depend on the context. At the same time, I agree that it would
be annoying in the context of (say) a finite polynomial ring, or the
Symbolic 'ring'.
