As mentioned below, possibly a 'hangover from small children in the house' issue. Back-hanging tissue generally snaps if you take hold of the end and run. Front-hanging doesn't (and hence the 'flush the end' trick works, and blocks the loo if you're really unlucky).
It also stops people using half a roll at once without conscious effort. If you're from the "three squares is extravagant" school (and/or remember rationing...) I guess it would be a good way of limiting use. *shudder*
