There's a bit of noise, as I sometimes vote up someone I disagree with if they raise an interesting point, and I very, very rarely vote someone down just because I disagree with them.
This "bit of noise" becomes significant on sites with a small number of subscribers, as a +/-2 vote is a "big deal".
I think that's a feature, not a bug. What an upvote expresses is nearer to "you should listen to this guy" than to "I agree with this guy", but I think the former is more useful information.
