Question: why PDEtools:-Solve fail on this equation?

I looked at help for PDEtools:-Solve and do not see why this would fail. Any idea? Is this by design or could it be a bug?  solve() works on same input, so I expected Solve to also work on same input.

eq:=D(y)(0)+1 = 0;
solve(eq,D(y)(0));

(D(y))(0)+1 = 0

-1

PDEtools:-Solve(eq,D(y)(0));

Error, (in PDEtools:-Solve) required an indication of the solving variables for the given system
