The UAWG agreed with you:

#325: Checkpoint 5.5: API notification of content change in one
viewport that causes change in another

  Comment: You requested the following functional requirement:

     "When user agents display content in multiple viewports --and the
     user's action in one view port causes the display in other view
     ports to be updated, the user agent should make such display
     update notifications available through standard APIs like the
     DOM/HTML event APIs."

   This is covered by our checkpoint 6.5:

     "6.5 Using standard APIs, provide programmatic alert of changes
     to content, user interface controls, selection, content focus,
     and user interface focus. [Priority 1]
        Note: For instance, when user interaction in one frame causes
        automatic changes to content in another, provide programmatic
        alert through standard APIs. Use the standard APIs required by
        the checkpoints of guideline 6."
