That's by design.

Which one is correct is largely a matter of philosophy / mental model.
This case has been discussed before:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/180673

Keep in mind also that "git push --porcelain" does go to stdout and is
machine-parsed, so no other messages can go to stdout when that option
is enabled.
