Ultimate Magic has a couple new symbol spells that confer beneficial effects rather than penalties, for example symbol of healing heals whoever sets it off. Kind of a cool idea, I think.

However, like most symbol spells they say "This spell functions as symbol of death, except" and then lists the differences. This causes a minor issue. Symbol of death says:

PRD-Symbol of Death wrote:
Any creature attuned to a symbol of death cannot trigger it and is immune to its effects, even if within its radius when it is triggered. You are automatically considered attuned to your own symbols of death, and thus always ignore the effects and cannot inadvertently trigger them.

That means that if you cast symbol of healing, you're automatically attuned to your own symbol of healing, and you can never benefit from it.

I'm just wondering if this was intentional?
