The mis-pinning is the fault of whoever did the tooling for the kit. The "fix" is simple enough, and the cost of retooling would be too expensive for something as simple to fix as removing the pins.
I might add, that those locater pins, are "recommended removal items" by many modelers, as they can cause slight misalignment between the two parts, that leads to excessive sanding and filling. It's easier to remove the pins and align the parts for the least visible seams, to begin with. I've made it a habit to remove those pins, for years now.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
