Drummergirl, sorry for the confusion here. We'll be changing OmniFocus to behave this way in the near future, but the current release does not consider rows that have children to be actions. They are containers for actions, but not actions themselves; that's why they don't show up in Context view.
If you're comfortable running prerelease software that hasn't been through our full testing process, you can grab a version of the application that does what you want from
this page on our website.
