Another FrameMaker 11 Bug

Hello Framers,

This one may seem obscure, but I found another FrameMaker 11 bug is causing
a major problem with one of my plugins. You can see it by following these
steps:

1) Create a new, double-sided document.
2) Go to the two master pages and add Current Page # variables so you can
keep track of the body pages.
3) Add some dummy content so the document has at least 3 pages.
4) Go to page 2 and add a small text frame in the top margin of the page.
Tag the flow with a name that is not "A" and turn on the Autoconnect
property.
5) Click in the new text frame and press Return until a new page is created.

OK, where is the new page with the new, small text frame? In FrameMaker 11,
will be on page 4. in FrameMaker 10 (and lower), the new page will be 3, and
the original page 3 becomes page 4.

Why has this changed in 11? Is it a bug or a feature?
