This is a little disappointing, but not surprising. It's just the way that Nintendo does backwards compatibility. The hardware switches to compatibility mode and disables all the new features of the hardware/firmware, as seen with GBA games on DS, GC games on Wii. Nintendo would rather build in 100% BC with no new features than go through the hassle of ensuring the new features work with all software (see Xbox 360).

I had always wished I could play GC games using the Wii's own memory storage and classic controller.

Also see the PS2 which smoothes all PS1 games, and the early PS3 which upscales any PS1/2 game... they can do it if they want to.
