Requesting to state the obvious? If the behavior were different (i.e. stroke color not applied for fill when using a tool option which generates a filled output path), and the user chose a shape intentionally (to create a path with a variable width, or to use a vector brush), it would be reported as bug if the filled output of the patheffect would _not_ use the default stroke color of the tool as fill color ...
