No, this is intentional.  For most users who only use the www view (and in
the future www posting) the message ID is not useful at all because
following it will automatically resolve it into a www message number (so you
can't get the message ID based URL of a message this way).  It is only
needed to reference messages in both the www view and regular news
interface.

Note that as it is only while text on white background you can still do
everything with it you can do with any other link.  In particular (all?)
browsers allow you to copy links to the clipboard and insert them elsewhere
(i.e as text in news messages or emails), which is basically the only thing
the link is useful for.
