No, it would be a feature. 8-)

 This is how MIDI routing and MIDI processors would work inside the
 GMPI graph.  For events that originate as MIDI, hosts that expose
 MIDI into the graph should staple the original MIDI to the expanded
 message, until and unless the two side come un-sync'd.

If they are truly synced, why do you need the MIDI at all?

Tim, I know this is hard for you to get your brain around, but that's actually the way some people prefer to think and work. There is no learning curve, this is what they already do, so it's the quickest and easiest-to-debug path to completion of the task. I hope you can refrain from calling them -- my friends -- knuckle-dragging troglodyte morons for thinking differently about this than you do.
