yes, they are surprising, I could have used surprises instead of
exceptions, if you prefer. Another surprise is this:
probe + 1 2 ; == 3
(at least I think, that it looks like a surprise, or exception)
Anyway, the fact is, that such exceptions/surprises are common in
natural languages too, where you can hardly find a rule without exceptions.
