I would like to fix that.
Please confirm if it is expected behaviour.

Yes, we should diagnose this and update the test suite to cover it.

Do we need to introduce new Policy (CMP) if we start implementing that?

Unfortunately policies do not help with command-line tool behavior because there is no scope in which to set the policy. Let's just change the behavior. If it breaks something important we can convert it to a warning instead. Please include a Help/release/dev/*.rst file with a release note calling attention to the behavior change.
