Wouldn't that fall under "Unexpected new behavior"? VHMs have always 
been "inert" objects that don't do anything unless you specifically use 
the Mappings tab or you hand them magic URL path elements. That was 
their beauty as opposed to the "dangerous" SiteRoot. Now you propose 
adding magic. Magic is BAD, IMHO.

-0 on the trunk, but -1 for any maintenance branch.
