Clients communicating their wishes about their requirements is a normal process of a workflow for programmers and architects alike.
What all the architects that I know of are upset about are clients that frequently specify some features (a column, a window etc) which is "wrong".
By wrong I mean it is contrary to the years of experience and learning that architects have had in their craft.
An analogy would be a client requesting programmer to move close window X to the lower right without a good justification.
