What I see in MS Word is that it uses the current keyboard input source to make the decision, not the input source an event came from.

> because it's the best signal available for this purpose

This is not quite true. The only appropriate general signal on OS X is a preference in Language and Text control panel. An application can of course have its own configuration options, but it should not silently ignore system-wide user choice.

The fact that this property is wanted to implement incorrect behavior appears to be a strong argument against it.
