Comment:

 Should it? How should it? The prefix is not stored in a setting so WP has
 no memory of it. Alas, changing the prefix makes WP load a different set
 of tables, so it wouldn't be able to see the old setting anyway unless you
 had manually renamed or moved the tables...

 You might want to write a script that completes the move to a new prefix
 but this isn't something WP needs IMO.
