Comment (by nacin):

 This is more or less proper behavior. is_home is the default fallback
 whenever you wish to add on query vars that don't otherwise change the
 flags.

 This is the purpose of has_archive for a custom post type -- you can still
 query a post type when has_archive is set to false, but it'll then get
 is_home.

 If you want to affect the front page, you'll probably want to use
 is_front_page, or you should be checking wp_query against the original
 query object (wp_the_query) to make sure you're operating on the main
 loop.

 I'm not sure how this should be addressed, other than the way to run a
 query that actually discards any kind of flags from being set. I don't
 think I like that behavior.
