As far as I know this is a beamer design decision. The idea seems to
be that if your presentation is short enough that the individual frame
titles would fit in a table of contents then you don't actually need
one; see the beamer user guide at
http://ctan.mackichan.com/macros/latex/contrib/beamer/doc/beameruserguide.pdf.
