Yes, this feature would be good to have. StGIT makes it a little less painful to hack around this limitation, but you still have to remember popping your patches before running "git bisect good|bad".
Then again, in StGIT's case this could be solved by creating an "stg bisect" command that takes care of this for you. But I still agree with you that it would be a win if regular git could do as you describe.
