I don't think this says anything about Bitcoins as a currency. When the Euro was introduced in Germany, most restaurants, newspapers, politicians etc. kept on listing the Mark price alongside with the Euro price as a point of reference. After a few years this practice stopped when people got used to estimating the worth in Euros (my parents still translate everything into Mark).
I think that if Bitcoins ever become stable (who knows when - maybe once all coins are mined?) people might stop comparing USD to Bitcoins once they're used to the Bitcoin "worth", who knows.
