I don’t think it was a quirk but intendend. :) Even that feature likely felt illogical at first, it's intriguing how much thought went into the tiniest bits of the GUI. Btw it was the only feature where a "before-state" was displayed, I think.
Workwise it made sense because switching to a viewmode like Shaded or Textured would took some time. Knowing to which viewmode you'll switch was surely an advantage. Besides this, its kinda obvious which viewmodeis currently used because the viewport is displaying it already. Therefore, having a label that indicates to which viewmode you will switch is more useful. Otherwise it would be redundant information. I work that way even today (middle click to switch modes) and to be honest I would prefer the old way telling me to which viewmode I'll switch. Rather than in which viewmode I am currently in.

The viewport title bar shows the shading mode that will be activated when clicked, not the current shade mode. SI3D had a lot of those quirks.

IIRC it was always that way in SI3D and in a few versions of XSI too. Indicating which view mode was used before the current mode, so when you middle click to switch it will revert to that view mode.
