This seems to be the same problem as the one you wrote about back in
February [1]. Yes, I agree. As I suggested back then [2], you can report
this as a bug (if you haven't already). There's quite a lot of bugs in
GNOME Shell though, so I don't know if someone is willing to work on
this in the near future.
