The above is an interesting thought. But, I feel obligated to note it would be a breaking change to the interface. So basically still a pretty big "bug/problem"... just not in the implementation.
And even if it's "cleaner" over the wire, changing an interface without also changing its signature is terrible practice because it silently breaks end user applications (as @ajn may have found out).
With all due respect Jürgen, dismissing this or trying to spin it as a good thing(tm) strikes me as extremely forgiving or just naive.
Finally, if this speculation is correct, it makes me think that extra caution should be exercised prior to using 10.30+ in production. Since, I wouldn't want to have any code running the relied on defaults being set to "recent historical values" and didn't immediately fail loudly when such an assumption quietly disappeared; which seems like a possibility.
