I'm sure it's nothing new. They are used to the confusing nature of English, as us anglophones have been yelling "seal egg!" (phoque oeuf) for years, and seals are mammals, yo.
Mammals have eggs. They are just usually very small. Except for platypus.
The only requirement for being a mammal is nipples. Or, more specifically, mammary glands.
Fur and three inner-ear bones and a broad neocortex are important, too...but not as big as nipples.
