I also find it inconvenient but this seems to be a fairly typical behavior for drawing programs, so suspect doing it differently would be inconvenient for other users. But why don't you submit a feature request with some ideas on how it could be augmented. Also, it would probably be illuminating to know how Illustrator handles it.
One option would be to have a 'duplicate/replicate' dialog that could be popped up with some hotkey. Then in this just ask for offsets & count then repeat away
That'd probably come in quite handy for a number of cases.
I think that with Nathan's new grid code, with snapping activated, being able to click locations to put the copies could be a very intuitive to put in multiple copies of things.
