This may be changing, I think due to globalization many universities are now standardizing on the BSc as the default level to get off for most students - and simultaneously making the MSc more research-y.

Well yes, it is, and that would remove a lot of confusion. But for now, the majority of all continental masters are not 'research oriented' in the way an Anglo-Saxon masters always was. And most people hiring (which lags people graduating by, say, 10 years) will see a person who left university after a continental bachelors as someone who if not dropped out then at least didn't do the whole curriculum.
