Yeah, that was my feeling, but it would sure be nice to know why this got cherrypicked as a needed change.
I can see wanting to stop players from trivializing certain caster mobs with LoS dodging, though you can get the same effect once the mob is pulled with enough melee push (mobs will chain cast but never land a spell due to failing loc checks at the end of casts - I can solo single non-DS'd 50+ casters all day with my monk due to insane push from epic fist/sky fist + self haste). It mostly hurts pullers and soloing casters.
Regardless, I can't really see a reason not to get the PC mechanics working appropriately. Again, I understand that some things aren't classic out of necessity, so I'm mostly asking: if not, why not?
