Absolute bollocks isn't it! I thought it was a manufacturing error - like they'd put the holes in the wrong place or not drilled access by the hoods!!
Am guessing a hole near the shifter clamp would need to be big to accommodate different people's lever angles and would weaken the bars. The last inch or so at the end of the bar probably gets flexed a lot less.
