I do not have an answer for that. I was also surprised when this was
done (when I originally worked on the bootstrap code to remove the .elc
files from the CVS repository, I didn't force regeneration of the .o
and temacs file and I cannot remember any bug report about it).
But recently someone mentioned the issue of cross-compiling and in this
context it makes sense: the bootstrap-emacs (and its temacs) should be
compiled for the host platform so we can generate the .elc files, and
then the final `emacs' (and its `temacs') need to be compiled for the
target platform.
Not that cross-compiling is a common occurrence (it's definitely not
supported out-of-the-box for example).
