The problem here is likely that you are inserting the element via the Insert menu vs the Element List. The two behaviours may differ there because the Insert menu items are driven by script. It might also be the case the Element List has some script involved. The DITA customization is quite complex (and completely undocumented, which is why making changes like this are not officially supported).
