Bug? Oversight?

The interface for background syncing was intentionally kept as simple as possible, since we consider this whole business of defining sync locations to be a temporary workaround: iOS 7 will let apps sync in the background without having to use geofences.

The intent isn't that you should set up a geofence around every location you visit, but just one or two places that you're at regularly (e.g. home, school, work). Unfortunately, due to device limitations, the more geofences you define the less reliable geofencing becomes.
