It may be a social stigma that applies here, where somebody with several blocks
is presumed guilty until proven innocent beyond a reasonable doubt in matters
of future blocks or editor disputes.  It doesn't matter if the blocks were done
entirely in error or by administrators mis-using the tools.  Adding yet another
block when the block was done in error just increments the block count even
further.

Perhaps this should be solved socially, but adding an annotation into the logs
seems like a prudent thing to do.
