Yes, this is correct.
I guess this was a step too far for the implementers.
In the case of -regress- there's an easy solution
either way and in one sense that difference is very minor.
In the case of -qreg- at least, the extra constraint implied
by forcing a hyperplane through the origin would seem
by comparison a much bigger deal. That's just gut instinct
speaking, not a rigorous argument based on algebra or algorithmics.
