Yes, that is the sort of thing that zic used to require, but it was error-prone to require two zic transitions for one "real-world" transition in many common cases, and this caused multiple errors in the tz database. I agree that what zic does now is a bit confusing, but what zic used to require was even more confusing in practice. If any change is to be made here, I'd prefer to change to something that is better.
