Would this then only be a problem if I was uning non-hardware serial pins, and would therefore need to artificially invert everything in software?
I use often PIC connected directly to RS-232 with resistors in serie (about 1K-4.7K) and i never have any problems with. SERIN,SERIN2,SEROUT,SEROUT2 allow you to drive true or inverted. BUT if your PIC have already an USART, it's more code efficient to use it. If you need to invert signal you can also use simple 10 cents combination of NPN transistor+2 resistors too instead of MAX232+cap

It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
