I would say that there might of been extra lubrication in mind here to get at the cam and valve train, the oil is thrown up the tube that lies above the cam chain sprocket and runs down the one over the valve train.
If it was just crank case pressure they were worried about why not put the vent at the front of the engine where it is less likely to pull oil up and into the air box.
Has any one started the engine without the pipe connected to the rocker lid?, I once did don't have to say what came out, but there was loads of it.

No kidding
I had a hose connected to the one over the cam gear and routed it to the handelbar and was going to run it without the breather filter in my garage to make sure it worked fine. Holy smoke the oil went everywhere. i would say it pushed it at least 12" up.
I have plugged off that one and now run a hose from the other one to a check valve. works like a charm
