I think the idea that major modes should be encouraged to bind M-n/M-p to mode-specific next/prev commands is a fine one, and that it is encouraged rather than hampered by a default binding that accomplishes something similar -- teach the users to expect M-n/M-p to do those sorts of things in general, and they'll be more likely to expect, find, and use mode-specific bindings in major modes. I also think the idea that we shouldn't add new bindings because then someone in the future might think that those bindings are somehow `special' - and that we might want them to think otherwise - is a rather extreme combination of straw-man and absurdity. On the gripping hand, if we want to reconsider Emacs' default bindings in toto, I don't think we'll have a better opportunity than the upcoming Emacs 24 release for several years.
