Well, we might need a pretty strong rationale to consider a change that would break the "no surprise" principle. Changing the default behaviour of the utility would be likely to break existing setups that use chpasswd. I expect people who want MD5 passwords to already use the "-m" switch. So, really, my first reaction is being non invasive and mark this bug as "wontfix".
