That would be a bug. It's just a minor difference in XML serialization.

D:displayname is populated for those resources which have one. There is 
no defaulting to "whatever the last segment in the URI is". If the 
client makes bad assumptions about displayname behaviour, this could 
confuse it (note that Apache/mod_dav works exactly the same).
