trouble with current xinit

After installing the latest xinit from current, I ran xwmconfig and chose fluxbox. Unfortunately startx then just started a root window. I had to manually change the xinitrc symlink in/etc/X11/xinit to fluxbox, as it defaults to kde, which I haven't installed. Is this a bug?

x/xinit-1.0.4-i486-2.tgz: This package should not contain an xinitrc since
it contains no window manager. But, since it's probably already installed
one on any -current running machine, removing it will remove your symlink
to any existing xinitrc.*. If that happens, we link to xinitrc.kde. If
that is not your window manager of choice -- sorry about that. A quick
run of xwmconfig as root will let you get the system wide defaults back
the way you like them.

Yes, I know. But shouldn't running xwmconfig set the correct symlink?
