Please check the commit-history of this piece of code (e.g. with
vc-annotate) to see that it used to do what you say it "should" do
(i.e. also call the minor-mode function if the init-value is non-nil).
The current code follows the following idea:
Loading a file should change Emacs's state as little as possible, so the
init-value of a minor mode should *describe* (not determine) the default
state of the minor-mode (in the case where the minor-mode function is not
executed).
