Your opinion and expectation are not supported by the IR spec.  Optnone skips "most" optimization passes.  It is not practical (or was not, at the time) to make the -O3 pipeline behave exactly the same as the -O0 pipeline, and also not actually necessary to support the purpose for which 'optnone' was invented.

If you have a goal of making 'optnone' functions use the actual -O0 pipeline, while non-optnone functions use the optimizing pipeline, more power to you and you will need to take up that particular design challenge with Chandler first.
