This is the case for nearly all of the Metaweb system types, that is, the types in the /type domain.  /type/object has “name” as its default property, but the rest of the non-literal types have “id” as the default to eliminate ambiguity.

{
  "query" : [
    {
      "default_property" : null,
      "domain" : "/type",
      "id" : null,
      "type" : "/type/type"
    }
  ]
}
