This is a good find and a detail I had forgotten about. Ean specifically wanted this functionality when in Juggle mode because he often doesn't have a hand free to use Shift while Cue Point juggling so that he can pause the track (or stop the track from continuing to play after pressing a cue point). At least that's how I remember it.
If it really bothers you I can dig into the mapping and explain how to change it back.
