I agree. I hadn't been mapping in a long while so I took the latest JOSM
last weekend and noticed the same.
My problem with it: because the colour is always white, after I made some
roundabouts I was wondering why they didn't show up on the map. It took
 me some time before it hit me that I forgot the highway tag.

Having the roundabout coloured with the highway colour will help
spot things like that.
