Actually, this has always been the case in the bonding module.

We agree that it looks very wrong, and this is in fact one of the 
features we've been working on lately. It is not a trivial fix, 
since, as you've noted, a lot of the code depends on the bond 
settings being global. We plan to start releasing patches to address 
this issue very soon (probably even starting tomorrow).
