I don't think anyone doubts the value of _intentional_ asymmetry in design.

I would characterise both this bug report and bug #651680 regarding the capital M (and which has a similar response) as being "_accidental_ asymmetry"... in programmers' terms, an "off-by-one" error.

If it had been intentionally asymmetric designed to "look right", we would have had zero bug reports ... the best design being that which goes consciously unnoticed. In this case we got two independent bugs reports.
