I agree that this is not what users are likely to expect as the default, but it is still much better than nothing, or than a banner saying "Enable _javascript_ for this page to work". I would be glad if it were implemented, albeit only as a stop-gap until better server-side code has been developed to handle this story.
As for what users are likely to expect: an HTML table (similar to the way results are currently presented when _javascript_ is enabled) would, I think, be the most likely default.
Assuming that in the non-_javascript_ version of the page there will be a "Run query" button or similar, it would be nice for there to exist next to it a group of radio buttons with which the user can select the result format. If this is implemented, then "HTML table" should probably be the default, with application/sparql-results+xml as an alternative option.
For more details, see my comment in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/361835
Gerrit doesn't seem to work without _javascript_ enabled :(
