Why is this behavior desirable?

I mean, I don't necessarily mind it, but as a user I find it odd that
typing a `)` which has a matching `(` nearby (which can be found without
crossing any string/RE boundary) should emit a warning about some
"unrelated" surrounding entity like the RE in which it is located.

Emacs usually doesn't emit any such warning when editing within an
unclosed string.

I don't think we should necessarily change CPerl's behavior in this
regard, but that we shouldn't consider it a feature and thus shouldn't
enforce it in our tests.
