Yeah, I think this goes back to even the iLiad days where you had to be in the Content Lister in order to connect to the PC, you couldn't have a document open. The general idea is that you don't want to let the device and the PC have access to the same data at the same time... bad things can happen. I'm pretty sure every firmware they've released since 2007 or so will make sure that the PC has exclusive access to any exported filesystem.
