I know and at first I thought as you, that it's unnecessary, but I
thought about the wording,
in some cases, eg: in SawfishConfig -just as I did recently-
string->symbol is way more
intuitive compared to intern. (of course it's the same, but then you
read `intern' you think
about some internal symbol, not a conversion). So I thought that 1 line
extra-code won't
hurt that much :)

There's already one more I found which is spread several times of
Sawfish 3 or 4: beautify-symbol-name,
(if I'm right beautfiy-keymap-name is just a minor variation of it)  and
I think it should be in REP.
