The people that don't notice are the same ones spamming their friends with FarmVille invites and there's limited controls for blocking them without disavowing them entirely within Facebook. They're the people that post drunk pics to Facebook in "Everyone" albums without any consideration.
So what if they use + the same way. Ignore them, move them to a quieter circle. And for their benefit, it defaults to a more protective privacy setting than Facebook, especially for pictures.
I definitely agree that Circles are better. I don't think they're as good as they could be. I don't think it's that clear for people, even those that are outside the group you cite, where exactly their comments are going. It's discoverable, but it's certainly not immediately obvious. I think privacy usability is really important, you want to make that stuff as easy and intuitive as possible.
