 I believe that this is a reasonable behavior. But it should be

I am inclined to agree. Anyone with any sense, as you point out, would
keep a pointer to the head of the list; thus making g_list_prepend()
equivalent to e.g. perl's unshift operator on lists. Though documenting
its behaviour would be wise; if only in case anyone relies on this in
code, and a reader stumbles upon it not realising...

That said, by specifically not moving to the head of the list, this makes
it into an equivalent of g_list_insert_before(), when passed the same
GList* as both arguments. Is this intended / desirable / noticed?

Could you please submit a patch for the documentation?
