That really annoys me.

You're kind of right, but kind of for the wrong reasons . . . yes, especially for people who are over 25-30% body fat, BMI (and physical measurements) are probably more accurate than strict weight measurements.
However, especially for people without an extensive workout history and/or are not lifting extensive weights, you should lose weight in the form of fat faster than you gain it in the form of muscle (especially early).
