I'm not sure it should be fixed.
Your reasoning seems valid, however by now this behavior is ingrained
into my expectations of how thing-at-point should behave.
This would be a breaking change. For instance, it will make
(bounds-of-thing-at-point 'symbol) unsuitable for use in a
completion-at-point-functions element, to compute the first two values
of the returned list, because during completion you're most often
"after" the symbol. And I do use it for that purpose in one third-party
package.
emacs-eclim also uses it in
eclim-java-show-documentation-for-current-element. At the very least,
this will change the existing behavior.
