I do not find this surprising. The #basic* methods are intended to be
fundamental, never overridden, and to reveal the internal structure of
an object. This breaks encapsulation, but you need *some* messages that
do that or you can't write debugging tools such as inspectors.
So it sounds to me like it's correct as is.
