That sounds exactly like the last pull request I made to jQuery -- I found a bug in my use case that was so easily fixed it seemed like an omission, only to realize that it was deliberate due to some other, older edge case that had been coded around. I ended up with the same result, however I will say that at least the jQuery team was very polite and respectful and was more than willing to discuss the issue at length, help explain the pros and cons of either scenario, and we were able to end up with a new, third workaround that should work with both edge cases. Sorry that yours went the other way, but I found it spooky how closely your experience mirrored mine, despite a completely opposite resolution.
