I agree... and disagree. 
XBMC is multi platform so one should have that in mind, but the optimal thing would be to have a working lircmap file as default no matter platform or OS.
But of course there might be some things that you need to patch, but depending on what this is it might be something that one should do individually.
So in your case this seems to be something you should first report to XBMC. The changes to "devinput" is the default lircmap on all platforms (probably only linux distro´s affected though).
No specific distro should need to remap something completely, the only reason why a distro should patch anything would be if a button causes issues.
If it doesn´t work at all is a different story of course.
If the answer is that this is the way it should be, then one could look into if anything specific needs to be patched by Raspbmc or if anything is needed on the OS level.
