Why would that be an accident any more than not listing 100,000 other 
characters there? Or to put it more constructively, why should they be 
listed? What glyph variation needs to be expressible in plain text?

That does not sound correct. Variation selectors should either affect 
the choice of a glyph or be ignored, and their effects should be limited 
to characters designated to be affected by them.
