Component changes orientation from preview

$

I have been having difficulty with the component placement during assembly. 

Here is a simple example:

Assemble an additional component to an existing assembly, in the case a simple bracket.

Mate 2 surfaces, insert a pin into a hole and the SHOW COMPONENT IN ASSEMBLY WINDOW view has the component correctly oriented (and I understand that it is only partially constrained).

Select the Done green check mark and presto ... oh wait .... that's not what I wanted, I wanted what was in the preview.  Now I have to go back in a redefine the placement and add the additional constraint.  If it had shown me that while I was in there the first time I could have saved some time.

Why is that?  Seems like a bug in the component assembly routine.

Can any help me (other than saying "fully constrain in the first place)?
