I think this is by design.  To make it behave differently, we need
first to design the desired result.  What would you like it to do,
exactly? modify only the definition that corresponds to the current
background mode, number of colors, display type, etc., and leave the
other definitions intact?

In general, Customize does not support customizations that are
portable across environments and/or platforms.  E.g., if you customize
something on Windows, the result is not conditioned by the appropriate
value of system-type.  Isn't the issue you raise similar?

Do we know for sure that ``users refrain from customizing faces''?  If
so, perhaps we should ask them why they refrain from it.
