I agree completely.  You wouldn't want textures such as refraction changing
it's IOR.  This was talked of before, guessing no one was bold enough to
make the change.  Either that or there's more involved, even possibly meant
to be that way instead.
But yes, it sure would be more like other expected behavior.  I don't think
any texture patterns are allowed to move off of a scaled object anyway.
