animateTransform nad by-transformation

The test
http://dev.w3.org/SVG/profiles/1.1F2/test/harness/htmlObject/animate-elem-87-t.html talks about animateTransform with a by-transformation (right circle). The animation doesn't have additive="replace" set. So it should use the 'underlying value for the attribute'.
Isn't the default Affine-Transformation 1,0,0,1,0,0 ? Therefor shouldn't
the animation start with a scale of 1?
Opera and the FF nightly even start with a scale of zero, if a scale of
1 or 2 is set:

<circle r='80' fill='blue' transform="scale(1)">
 <animateTransform attributeName='transform' type='scale' begin='1s'
dur='3s' by='1' fill='freeze'/>
</circle>

This doesn't seem to be correct:

Any opinions about that?
