In 3D you have less control over what the audience sees... and so the common 2D trick of using DoF to draw audience focus just doesn't work.
Basically, the only way they could avoid that is to have everything in focus, which looks very weird and fake in 2D. It's a tradeoff- you either have it look perfect in 3D, or you have it look nice in both, and have to deal with those issues. After the first 10 minutes or so, I found that if I let my eyes follow the focus line, the movie placed everything where it needed to be in terms of focusing. After that, I had no problems with it. You just have to train your eyes not to focus on stuff in the foreground.
