It's a bit harsh to call it a "mistake," even in jest.  I would say 
instead: Using beavers and raccoons in match play is nonstandard.  GNU
Backgammon can't implement every nonstandard variant out there.  The 
developers are likely to implement only the most common variants.  It's 
possible that this particular variant will gain in popularity, and then 
someone might implement it.  Right now, though, it looks unlikely, because 
so few people play this way.
