The IETF makes a clear distinction between individual proposals and
documents which have been accepted by a working group. The former are
named after their authors.  Work is not assigned a number until it is
complete.

Talking about complete, BIP 40 and 41 don't even have an associated document:

I agree that was over-eager number assigning.
