It depends on how you look at it. Given unlimited resources, yes, designing for all possible cases is great. But in reality, especially with smaller teams, how much time should you really be spending designing/developing for cases that are not normal conditions. Is this really that big of a problem, or would just a note in the manual stating that if the battery completely dies you'll need to hold the power switch after you start charging it before the LED indication comes on, be sufficient. I don't look at it as a design flaw, but rather a priority choice of how to spend your resources.
