Changing policy because the current configuration of one webserver
doesn't work is not reasonable, particularly when simply modifying the
shipped config would work, sort of.

It's not "hijacked", is simply a default. You might as well complain
about the default server root of /var/www - after all, a user might want
something different.
Regarding the basic problem, I'm going to investigate further...off to
the mailling list.
