st: matrix colnames, Kronecker direct products, and factor variables

I don't get what I expect. The documentation I find says the columns of the product matrix, A # B, will have names from matrix B and equation names from matrix A?
But if I have factor variable names for the columns of A, they simply disappear in the product. (I also notice that when I assign column names that appear to be factor variables or interaction terms, Stata alters my labels, usually for the better.)
For example:
matrix A = (1,21 \ 0 ,1)
matrix colnames A = _cons mpg
matrix B = I(2)
matrix colnames B = 0.foreign 1.foreign
matrix C = B # A
matrix list A
matrix list B
matrix list C
The column labeling on C is not what I expect!
