Question: pointplot3d symbol=sphere same as symbol=circle

I think I know why they are the same but they shouldn't be. 

If I pointplot3d with symbol=sphere I get what I expect.  When I use symbol=circle I would expect a flat circle to be drawn.  Is this an option that was missed?  or is it that Maple just didn't carry the command over to 3d land?
