Sorry for late response on this, I dont think the original question was answered.
The reason to have this persistent is because of UV mapping - the image displayed on the UV/Image editor is always from this face. This is very similar to active object or active pose bone - you don't want the UV image to flicker about or display nothing when adjusting the vertex selection for eg. For a similar reason we have active-unselected Object's and Bones - the buttons window context would flicker too much otherwise.
