The user interface is there to make things simple for you, not make things more difficult.

If you put something up for repair while you have it equipped, the assumption is that you have unequipped it. Actually making you unequip it and take two additional steps is unnecessary. Perhaps, for the sake of realism, the item could become 'unequipped' when someone actually goes into repair mode. All the while it is in your bazaar, however, it should still be equippable.
