I believe that's because org-mode, in general, treats active timestamps
as scheduling data -- i.e., things you need to do. I.e., it is optimized
for using inactive timestamps to indicate "recently worked on" items.

Could you give an example? When I try C-c a L, it creates separate
instances for each timestamp in an entry.
E.g., the following file...
--8<---cut here---start->8---
* A test
<2009-09-25 Fri>
<2009-09-26 Sat>
--8<---cut here---end--->8---
becomes...
--8<---cut here---start->8---
Friday 25 September 2009
A test
---
Saturday 26 September 2009
A test
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

Depending on whether or not Carsten decides to change the behavior of
the timeline view ;) , you could always use a custom agenda command to
accomplish the same thing.

See the variable org-agenda-inactive-timestamps.

Try filtering the timeline with "/".
