The mailbox offset is not only used for receiving messages, but it is also used by messages sent to the system controller by Linux that have a payload, such as the "digital signature service". It is also overloaded by certain other services (reprogramming of the FPGA fabric, see Link:) to have a meaning other than the offset the system controller should read from. When the driver was written, no such services of the latter type were in use & those of the former used an offset of zero so this has gone un-noticed.
