I don't think it matters. You just have to carry the old passport with the current visa with you whenever you travel. It's a pain, but they did the same thing to me and it didn't cause any issues.

Look online: http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1262.html
It says it right there. "Unless previously canceled, a visa is valid until its expiration date. Therefore, if the traveler has a valid U.S. visa in an expired passport, do not remove the visa page from the expired passport. You may use it along with a new valid passport for travel and admission to the United States."

I have had an expired passport for the past 2 years with my current Visa in. I have gone in and out of the US about a dozen times with no issues.

Legally the visa is invalid like the rest of the passport because of the wholes in it. In my case when receiving the new passport the visas in my old one were left intact but the rest of the pages are punched.
