Yes, it's not and shouldn't be. As far a morph provides a coordinates of areas to fill, only the fillstyle can choose how to fill them. An isXXXFill patterns is really shows that parts of fillstyle behavior are handled by external entities, which adds complexity and uncertainty to many places in code.
Agree with you on relative vs absolute coordinates though.
