I honestly don’t get “Why is this an issue and not just annoying?”. Anything that’s annoying is an issue, no matter what. Whoever you’re talking to probably doesn’t want to bother fixing it. He even marked it as intended behavior.
Heck, one could set up a script to repeatedly do this to a site, so they wouldn’t be able to use Google CSE. If that happened to a few sites, I bet he would be quick to get something done about it.

That was the first time I reported a bug to Google. After getting a response like that I somehow got down. Crap.
