I think the reasoning is based on how a text editor/word processor works. If you're in the middle of a document and you press up, then you go the the previous line, whereas if you press left you go to the previous character. If you analogize going a line back to going 10 minutes (or whatever it is) back and a character to going a few seconds back, then it makes sense. The same analogy works for going forward in a document vs. going forward in the recording.
At this point, I'm so used to it working like that in mythtv, that when I use mplayer, I keep going the wrong direction.
