I am not sure if this important enough to be worth fixing.  Especially 
there is a simple workaround as you have mentioned.  I have a patch that 
will correct the behaviour (attached) but it has the potential to 
confuse users used to the old, deprecated, behaviour.  If you really 
feel that this feature needs to be corrected in the sources please open 
a bug report on the binutils bugzilla system and I will make the patch 
official:
