Yeah, I considered this a feature. As mentioned elsewhere in these comments, we should have a way to limit the scope of corporate certs.

One solution is to use Name Constraints. The organizational certificate authority could be issued with Name Constraints limiting its power to a certain domain name only, e.g. *.example.com, using Permitted Subtree.

If I was setting up an organizational CA for internal websites (not MITM), I would consider using Name Constraints to limit the certificate's scope and potential for abuse or compromise.
