I think they're doing it this way to make things easier for the end user. The end user only sees one track "English" which he chooses. Now the Blu-Ray player can decide itself whether to playback the AC3 or the TrueHD track, depending on which decoders it has inside. I think this approach makes sense.

Btw, the AC3/TrueHD mixed tracks are only found on Blu-Ray. On HD DVD TrueHD tracks don't have any AC3 frames mixed in.
