It makes sense, indeed.

I think that if a GM made Telegraphic + Other Maneuver easier to notice, he should also make Deceptive + Other Maneuver harder to notice.

Having said that, it adds one more level of complexity to the game. You go from one more roll to one more roll with modifiers. And even if modifiers sound to be easy in theory, they are always less easy than a roll without any modifier ... especially in the heat of a battle with several PCs and NPCs to handle.
