Matt, we need the fallback behaviour in the stdlib so we can gracefully degrade the stdlib's own timeout handling back to the 3.2 status quo when there is no monotic clock available. It is not acceptable for the Python 3.3 stdlib to only work on platforms that provide a monotonic clock.
Since duplicating that logic in every module that handles timeouts would be silly, it makes sense to provide an obvious way to do it in the time module.
