First thing that comes to mind is that for a supersonic wing profile, there is virtually no camber... and because of the high speed when increasing AoA you will get a resultant force pointing more backwards(because of wave drag) than for a normal profile.
I think what you describe is only a practical sollution to simplify a bit, I don't think this is actually theoretically accurate.
