Interesting Observation - Offset Features

$

I was using an offset feature to resemble a weld between a tube and a bracket. 

The features looks well enough in the model but there is a strange issue with and Offset feature... it doesn't merge with intersecting solids!

 

Here is the feature itself:

Funny thing is, you can trim with extrude across the feaure and remove material.

 

So I had to cut and refill the feature.  This worked okay here but was not nearly as simple in another region.

As persistent as Creo solid models are about merging solids into a single solid part, it is odd that this particular case is ignored.

 

This is in Creo M040.  I will probably send in a case with support on this in the near future if it is still prevalent in M070.

 

Have you run across this?
