Just goes to show the nonstandardness of Apple.

I've seen that behaviour with several chargers so it is not just an Apple issue. We have to remember that before the USB charging specification came out in 2007 and later revised in 2010, there was no standard so Apple (and others) used their own implementations. Even now, many chargers follow the Chinese standard by using a dead short between the D+ and D- pins to indicate a charging port.
