Yes, this is intentional.  

See the docstring of `org-export-table-remove-special-lines':

  Remove special lines and marking characters in calculating tables.
  This removes the special marking character column from tables that are
  set up for spreadsheet calculations.  It also removes the entire lines
  marked with `!', `_', or `^'.  The lines with `$' are kept, because
  the values of constants may be useful to have.

I tried to add a new option for this, but the option would be a bit
confusing, and the cost of having it seems to high, considered how 
simple the workaround is.    Hope you can live with it!
