It sounds like your project is set to parallel and that you have your view bar set to show only available actions. Since the action has no context, it is not considered to be available by OmniFocus.

Try setting you view bar to show remaining actions in planning mode (third menu from the right).

AFAIK, nothing ever gets sent back to the inbox in OmniFocus. I suspect you're running into the same configuration issue I mentioned above. You have your view bar set to show available actions. You create a new action with no context (OmniFocus considers it not available). When you leave the view, OmniFocus does its auto-cleanup and the action gets hidden according to your view settings (show only available actions).

Again, the solution is to simply set the view bar to show remaining actions in planning mode.
