By having the margin on one side gives one a visual clue to the fact that the current page is part of a spread and the next section continues on the side where there is no margin.

It's just a visual design thing and not worth worrying about.
The auto split algorithm was designed for only splitting landscape scans where the pages are independent, but I'm guessing you use it to split all landscape scans (setting the strictness values to 0). I can see in that case you would like a visual cue of what side each page is from. If I have time I will see if I can add an option for that.
