(Get the code!)
Upstream confirms the existing odd behavior is required for historical reasons that is difficult to change at this point.
A bash alias might make sense as a workaround if this is bothersome. For Ubuntu I don't think this is crucial enough to carry a delta versus upstream, that could cause inconsistencies for users familiar with its behavior on other distros.
