Just another bad location for the weight sensor.
My fiancee and I just noticed the same thing last week. That doesn't seem to be the safest setup. I now make sure that light is OFF while she's in the car. I've even shut the car on and off, and she's gotten in and out of the car to make sure that airbag is on. Kind of scary in such a little machine.
