I suggest you file a bug report (or send a message to emacs-devel) requesting the behavior you like. Personally I just don't use this behavior and instead use the batch-recompile-directory with a 0 argument, which gives me the behavior I want without having to deal with potentially breaking compatibility for some corner case script somewhere.
