That's debatable. I think the ability to run a DVD stand-alone is implied. As others have asked: what is the point of a DVD if you still need internet access to Telltale's activation server?
It should also be noted that they did deliver stand-alone discs for both seasons of Sam & Max. As a returning customer I assumed that the Wallace & Gromit (and Tales of Monkey Island, for that matter) discs would be similar. I don't think this is an unreasonable expection; not informally and not from a consumer rights point-of-view.

Futhermore, the disc is technically a free bonus.

To me, the disc is the game, and the online downloads are just to tide me over till the disc arrives. It's not a free item, because it's only available to season customers. It's part of a package deal.
I think the expectation that a game distributed on DVD can run stand-alone is a reasonable one. If Telltale wants to add online activation, they should have mentioned this fact before I ordered the game. Then I could have made an informed decision on whether to purchase the game or not.
