Yes, that's been mentioned several times.  (First mention was last
year:
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.monotone.devel/3816>.)
There's a bug mentioning it, too:
<https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?func=detailitem&item_id=13390>.

My guess is it just hasn't bothered anyone enough to actually fix it
yet.  (Further, I suspect the first person to write the code,
documentation, and tests, probably has a good chance to choose how it
works.)
