It's not really strange, because of how it actually does the serialization. A message is recorded as length+serialized members. Members can happen in any order. Packed repeated messages would look like...what? How do you know when one message ends and another begins? If you try and denote it, you'd just end up with what you already have.
Well, messages can be just repeated, not packed. Packing is for really small elements, I guess, - namely numbers.
In your example, you'd want to send each individual result as a distinct message, so they could be read one at a time. You wouldn't want to pack, as packing is for sending a whole data set at once.
So you suggest to send 1 message per TCP packet?
