Hi benjamin,
I can not answer why Wolfram implemented it as it is, but here is a work 
around. With FunctionInterplation you may combine several interpolation 
functions to a new one. Note that there are differences with the options 
of "InterpolationOrder". E.g.:
timevector = Table[i*0.1, {i, 0, 10}];
discretesolution = Table[Random[], {i, 0, 10}];
spline = Interpolation[Thread[{timevector, discretesolution}],
    InterpolationOrder -> 1];
Integrate[spline[t], {t, 0, 1}]
fun = FunctionInterpolation[spline[t] + 2, {t, 0, 1},
   InterpolationOrder -> 2]
Integrate[{fun[t], spline[t]}, {t, 0, 1}]
