tee doesn't check noclobber?

I am using SunOS 4.0.3 and have noticed that tee doesn't
check the noclobber shell variable in /bin/csh. That is,
set noclobber
command > temp
command > temp
temp: File exists. (doesn't overwrite)
command | tee temp (OVERWRITES the file)
I'm not complaining, I USE that "feature". It beats
typing "command >! temp".
I would expect this to be true in most BSD flavors, but am
not sure about SYS V. Is this a feature, a bug or a design
limitation?
Just curious,
