I agree with you, though I think that a big reason they haven't done that is that the streamers who use justin.tv the most don't actually demand that feature (though they probably wouldn't mind it either).
I don't have any hard stats, but I think that a majority of justin.tv's traffic is gaming related. In my observations, a single gamer can produce hours of content a day, most days of a week. For these types of streamers, it is more of the exception than the rule that someone will go back to watch the stream.
In the case that there is an interesting game that people want to link to or whatnot, they do end up passing around crazy urls and mentioning time offsets. If it is a really popular thing, someone will rip it off of the site and post it to youtube.
One commonality that I see (at least for the partnered streamers) is that in between games, they will run a commercial (they have the ability to choose when commercials happen). That would be a natural point to split the video on justin.tv's side, and then you could at least directly link to a particular game. Giving the ability for streamers to title a video after it is completed would help discoverability as well.
