This is intentional. Symptoms also react to reagents, try to think specifically in terms of what the symptom is. (For example, sneezing will react to pepper, fevers might react to something cold, chills might react to something hot.)
I'd figured it was intentional but, frankly, there is enough work growing pathogen and modifying it and prodding it in the DNA tester that there really isn't much time for anything beyond blindly putting together as many symptoms as possible, cranking up the stats to a reasonable level, and trying to release it early enough to have an effect on the station. The additional layer doesn't really seem to add that much to the gameplay.
