I think it unreasonable to expect the engine to hold the vehicle on a incline......although some larger engines can, it really is not a design consideration.
Remember the 'turn wheels toward curb' thing back in the drivers ed days......that and set the e-brake.
I imagine a new, tight, not yet broken in engine would have more resistance to this, but as the OP has found out...it isn't a replacement for the handbrake.
