It does make some sense. It's just been imagined that the friendly troop in front would duck down, or sway to the side so his teammate could fire from behind. It'll take some getting used to, but it won't be a game-breaking change.

But all blast weapons scattering? **** that. Space Marines have targeting gear and pretty damn good technology (not as great as Tau/Eldar, but still). There's no reason for a Space Marine missile launcher to scatter. The dude gets one shot per turn (or none if he moves), he better damn well be nearly guaranteed a direct hit on that shot. It'd suck otherwise.

Though like Icarus said, I could see things like grenade launchers scattering.
