Weird Tempo behavior ... anyone seen this?

So I wanted to play with my recording chain for bass guitar. I made a new song and recorded some bass. Then I added an amp sim and played with settings. Once I was happy I saved it as a track preset.

Next day I'm working on a song and import the track preset, record some bass.... but the recorded track plays back at a faster tempo. When I look at the event properties, the tempo says 'Map'. If I change it from Map to the proper tempo (105) it plays back fine.

I'm wondering if it's because the song where I made the track preset was at the default 120 tempo. Regardless, is this normal behavior?
 
(The ways to manipulate) tempo in Studio One is a study in itself. At the heart of it is the Tempo Track. For a song to automatically add 'Map' to a newly recorded track means there's tempo changes in there. Open the Tempo track and look for tempo nodes (maybe right at the beginning or waaay past the end of the song). To make sure there are none you can add one, then immediately hit Ctrl/Cmd-A followed by Delete.

Newly recorded tracks always get 'branded' with the tempo of the song they're recorded in, either a fixed bpm or a map. I'm not aware of tempo info being part of track presets. But hey, maybe something new.

Well it turns out it has nothing to do with Track Presets. I can create a new mono track, record and the tempo will be off when playing back (and the tempo in the event says 'Map').

It seems the only way around this was to turn off 'Record tempo information to audio files'.

Since there are no tempo changes in the section that I recorded, I would think this is a bug.
