You workflow makes perfect sense to me. I have yet to find a reason why anyone would want the application to work the way it does now in respect to this small workflow example.

I would call this a bug. But who am I to blow against the wind. :-)

If I were you, I would write it in to OmniFocus and label it as a bug. Maybe reference this thread, or copy your last post. It can be helpful to them to know how you expect it to work. (when I say write it in I mean, in OmniFocus, select help -> send feedback.)

If you tell them it is a bug or a feature request, they won't try and help you see it their way. They'll just say... the number of people requesting a feature is what determines it's priority. Which is to say, they may or may not fix it. ;-)
