Iceback,
We have exactly the same limitation in our ops specs. The lowest authorized circling mins are 1000/3 or the actual mins whichever are higher. That said, the powers that be made a decision to train to actual mins in the sim (for the type rating only) in order not to have the limitation put on the type rating. I don't think the limitation will ever be removed in the ops specs, nor would I want it to be, but it was good of them to make sure we had unlimited type ratings. I think they did it just because, well, they could and it didn't hurt anything. Don't worry about your limitation; it's a very common one and I have difficulty seeing anyone having a hard time with it. There are far more important factors to consider. When the time comes to upgrade, it'll be removed as a matter of course, so save your money.
