On the Mac, what are your settings for Data Preferences, Clean Up Inbox actions which have: (Project / Context / Both / Either)? That setting is synced with the iPod/iPhone/iPad, and if you have it set to Both, your actions added to the Inbox on the iPod/iPhone/iPad will stay put until you've got both. Change it on the Mac and sync both devices and actions should stay put in your Inbox until they are fully processed with project and context.
