Probably because the plugin code and qmake code are different, made by
different teams.  The plugin went through various versions that generated
invalid projects, such as treating as case sensitive the various RELEASE\
and DEBUG\ folders, when of course on Windows they are not case-sensitive.
This yielded compatibility problems such as moc not recognizing the folders
existed when they really did, causing build problems.  So I'm not really
surprised the plugin is still not 100% compatible, but if the differences
you found don't make a difference, then you shouldn't worry about them.
