It seems everyone thought that was an accident:
- The @ bookmark was introduced to be the equivalent of the default
  branch.
- The bookmark name "default" can only be created with -f/--force
  (unless you never had a default branch, but put the first
  changeset on a named branch)
- This behaviour was never tested.
- Some people reported it as a bug, that a bookmark named "default"
  was checked out on clone, so I changed the code to avoid this.

Regards,
Thomas
