It's not that strange actually. It's a common technique when drawing anime and quite a few ships have it (For instance, Kikuzuki, Tatsuta, Asashio, Maikaze). It's just that Hatsuharu has A LOT of hair so it stands out more. When it comes to covering eyes it really is up to the artist and the character type you're trying to depict. A covered eye usually has a certain character type assosiated with it (E.G. Pleinair from Disgaea or Hamakaze).

All that said, in Hatsuharu's case, it might have made more sense to color the hair over the eye and then simply lower the opacity over the eye. This way the eye is showing through (as this is what the artist wanted) while feeling more connected. Though, that isn't the artists style and she always had one eye showing through her hair.
