Well Ctrl-k is default for delete line in a number of editors as well as being established in this one. No problem with you adding this feature but any new function is added it should just be another function that a user can bind to the key of their choice, rather than having preferences to change behaviour of the existing functionality.

i dont really know anyone that uses ctrl-k for anything so not sure how it could be an anoyance.

What if you cut something then decide you just want to delete it and cut lines starting at the cursor? Then you'd be confused when pasting with extra lines at the start that you might not see (maybe you're cutting more than a page of lines).
Everything has his pros and cons. I never used that feature anyway, but I think nano's behavior appeals me :) IMO confusion is not the best argument, if it's documented (and you get used to it anyway). I'm getting used to a lot of small pieces in Geany which were slightly confusing when I ran first into them. They aren't a big deal at all.
I think it comes down to whether it's worth the extra risk of not doing what the user wants sometimes for the benefit of the extra feature. In this case I think the benefit doesn't outweigh the possible annoyance.
(The proposed behaviour would be something else to remember, when the programmer should be thinking about their code).
