Depends on a platform, on 6500/4500 there would be a reason since it
supports per switchport native VLAN tagging disabling with interface
command "no switchport trunk native vlan tag".
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/ios/12.2SX/configuration/guide/dot1qtnl.html#wp1006255

I'd put it this way; "show interface switchport" for 3560/3750 platforms
has some misleading/missing lines. Since this is a minor disadvantage
and there is a way to verify what actually is happening, it has probably
escaped quality assurance testers' attention. Another possible reason
for having "Administrative" for this as enabled might be in original
idea of having a global "vlan do1q tag native" enabled by default which
didn't happen.

If you are so keen on finding the real one, you can try and open P4 case
with TAC, we'd love to hear the story. :-)
