All along I've been hoping that someone would pop up and say: No, Chuck,
you've got it all wrong. You've simply forgotten to turn on the clone
tool rational behavior switch... located on the underside of your
keyboard or somewhere else likely unnoticeable.

Repeat your test. Set the hardness at 100% and make a black circle
which will be exactly the diameter of the cursor. Now set the hardness
at 25%. Align the cursor edge with the edge of the black circle you
just created. Now clone repeatedly 4 or 5 times in the same spot and
watch the "overspray" get larger and larger and merge into the black
spot. The point is that one cannot precisely control where the paint
goes unless using 100% hardness. But 100% hardness and "feathering"
an edge are not compatible. I consider it distinctly not useful. I
also don't see the use of layers as a very useful fix to the problem
since that only allows fixing what shouldn't have happened in the
first place. One can also constrain the paint by cloning into a
selection but that's tedious for working on hundreds of small areas
when a simple real-time view of where the paint is going (inside the
cursor circle) is all you need.
I don't disagree. OTOH, perhaps you should be making this point to
Adobe, not us? :-)
