I agree, and this one in particular is important to some operators: by allowing a relay to specify itself in the family, one can just have a single configuration file for all relays in a family.
Maybe somebody wants to make a trac ticket pointing to this thread,

own fingerprint in its family line, and just quietly leave it out?
I bet that would be an easy minor feature for somebody to add, and it
would avoid creating this confusion in the future.
