iirc this behaviour is a "tribute" to the virtual-router issue.
any configuration regarding layer 1+2 depends on the virtual-router default.
Any configuration above is in the context of the virtual-router wehrer 
configured (which can be != default). 

So you can have ethernet/atm/sonet/...-description per physical interface 
... or even per subinterface and extra descriptions per ip-interface ... 

we're using layer1+2 descriptions for cabling infos and ip descriptions for 
customers or similar infos.
