Could somebody give any rationale why this condition shouldn't always hold:

Seems it is not unreasonable to expect this behaviour, because it is exactly what interfaces are all about, or am I wrong?
That's a pretty reasonable expectation. I think emitting a warning if this doesn't hold would be a sane thing to do, and it wouldn't break any code.
For me, raising CannotAdapt would be better choice. After all, getting an object that implements requested interface is the very thing what adaptation is used for.
If I, say, adapt WovenContext to ISession, I get a session object which does not implement the ISession interface itself. Absurdly.
