Sure, this is expected. A nested layout with parts coming from one and
the same repository can be committed in one go. That's intended and
frequently preferred behavior (even if it's not always expected by the
user).

I can see why in some situations it would be beneficial to inform
users about the fact that the commit about to take place spans one or
more nested folders. That information is available to the user if
he/she carefully examines the 'path' column, but given any reasonably
sized WC and/or repository the different paths may be hard to catch at
a glance.
