Yes this issue should be fixed.

There is config option but it not taking effect:
https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/blob/master/src/config.js#L31
https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/blob/master/src/config.js#L366

Global folders are a bit messy because Yarn supports Mac, Linux and Windows and tries to play by the rules of all of them.
See her https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/blob/master/src/constants.js#L77 -> https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/blob/master/src/util/user-home-dir.js#L7

Looks like it is defined as OS home dir and does not get an override.
A PR to provide a .yarnrc option to fix it is welcome
