This is indeed done on purpose in the LaTeX sources:
\def\raggedright{%
\let...@centercr\@rightsk...@flushglue \rightsk...@rightskip
\leftski...@skip
\parinden...@}
Hint: the last line is the relevant one here.
It is possible to reinstall indentation by setting parindent again after
calling raggedright, something like this (untested) in the preamble
(could be turned into a module, too).
\let\oldrr=\raggedright
\def\raggedright{\let\oldps=\parskip\oldrr\parskip=\oldps}
