My motivation came from reading someplace or other that 'Repeater' mode means "do not originate information" (i.e. only do "relaying"). It seemed odd to me that if I want to facilitate collaboration over 'msh0', then I would have to mess with (setting mode on) 'eth0'.
I think you drew too many conclusions from someplace. If you look in any OLPC OS build you'll see that it has always been listed as repeater.
