Yes, I imagine the DVD situation is to minimise head movement between the end of layer one and the start of layer two. With "groovy" discs this wouldn't apply as it is necessary to move the head out of the way to turn the disc over, so restarting at the same linear speed makes sense to avoid a jump in sound quality.
