When you Move and Attack you can still dodge and block and you have your full move, though slower while shuffle stepping. When you AoA, you have no active defense and only half move. So I'd say it's intentional, at least in the Basic Set. I don't have TS yet.

Move and Attack, even with shuffle step, is more defensive than AoA. Perhaps that's why you get the bulk penalty.
