I don't consider that a scanner problem. B&W negatives are intended
to print on monochrome paper. The digital equivalent are to do a
monochrome scan or to convert to monochrome in the photo editor after
scanning. I haven't scanned B&W negatives, but for starting with B&W
prints, I usually do a color scan in order to better spot and deal
with stains, ink spots, etc. that show up in a different color. That
might be a benefit for negative scans, as well.
