MS is a big company, so all kinds of s-t comes out of there. But they have a private API for writing hidden and protected information to the registry, so if this 'trick' was used deliberately to hide information in the registry, it was done by some idiot acting independantly.
On the other hand, two cents says that some blogger found a limitation of regedit, and some comentard described it as a feature.
