I'm curious: Where has it been said that it was unintentional? I can say that for all the time that I've been playing Munchkin (since its release in 2001) and working as the NetRep for Munchkin (~15 years), that it is by design that you can play Race and Class cards (and other Thingies, as they've come to be) as soon as you get them.
