Photoshop :: CS6 Color Sampler Cursor Hotspot Inconsistent With Rest?

I don't use the Color Sampler Tool much, but In checking something for another thread, I noticed the cursor now seems inconsistent with the cursors of the other tools.Basically, I expected it to drop the sampler on the little crosshair, and it dropped it instead at the end of the dropper.
 
This used to make sense, and it's still consistent with the Eyedropper cursor (and with prior versions of Photoshop).  But I find that now I've gotten used to the other new cursors, most of which now define the hot spot at the upper-left, it didn't do what was expected.
