Well, it does make it look weired and might make things more difficult for Inter if they had important serie A games in the week the return leg vs Porto is scheduled for. But this is some very hypothetical reasoning, IMO. All in all, whether Inter will have to play a mid-week game for week 1 or week 2 doesn't make a world of a difference.
The reason why UEFA didn't change the order of the Inter - Porto games is that being the host for the secong, decisive game is considered an advantage, an advantage Inter won by finishing top of their CL group. I am sure that for the next stage in the CL the fact that Milan and Inter play at the same stadium will be considered during the draw and the game schedule will be adjusted accordingly.
