It's one that really bothers me because of the unnecessary confusion it adds.

As for the rest, see GGP's argument. px^2 doesn't make logical sense. When people are use pixels as length, it's in the same way as "I live 2 houses over" - taking a 2D or 3D object and using one of its dimensions as length/distance.
