I've noticed this too. It is one of several annoying problems that would evaporate if votes weren't anonymous.
More problems would be caused by that change than would be solved.
That doesn't match my intuition about it. But then, I don't really like doing anything anonymously.
Perhaps keep anonymous votes too, but make them worth less or only use them to break ties.
It should be enough to let people volunteer to be non-anonymous voters to change the reputational impact (then, big enough inadequacy of the karma proxy will become visible).
Parent voted back up strategically. ;)
