I don't know, but the alternative is to live with a confusingly
inconsistent behavior.  Code relying on that behavior relies on
something undocumented.

The only other alternative I see is to provide the documented behavior
under a new name.  We could in addition rename the current defun to
something containing "--temp" and keep the old name as an obsolete
alias.
