In my personal opinion, the current behaviour is the correct one.
  What a color with component values greater than 1 does is to oversaturate
the image. Oversaturation usually means that it gets white (unless it's a
pure color, eg. pure red or pure yellow).
  This is what happens with, for example, the sun. The light emitted by the
sun is not pure white, but it's so bright that it oversaturates it is seen
as white.
