Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer:
There actually is a sound justification to this behavior.

A shear bond failure is not a loss of interaction: the cohesive
properties disappear but the interaction keeps existing (as long as
there is geometrical overlap), we can still ask YADE for the interaction
properties such as isBroken.

On the other hand, with a tensile failure and neverErase = False, the
interaction immediately disappears: the tensile bond failure is
equivalent to a loss of interaction. And how would you ask YADE the
properties of something that does not exist ?
