I think it's an oversight. Replication sets were added later than the
TRUNCATE trigger, so the design for the latter does not consider the
former as far as I know.

Well, the truncate trigger is there to replicate the truncate to other
servers. If you don't want truncate to be propagated, dropping the
trigger is one way to achieve that effect.
