Is it a Problem, Method, or "feature"?

I cannot remember ever recording a way point on a ride so I am unfamiliar with the process. Montana 600, BTW.
Several people who DO record way points - and are former Mapsource users - are complaining that:
* when they used Mapsource and sent their recorded tracks back to Mapsource from their GPS, the way points recorded on the ride came back to Mapsource WITH the track that was recorded when those way points were created.
* when they send recorded tracks back to Basecamp the way points recorded during the ride when that track was created do NOT come back to Basecamp WITH the tracks.
They have to send the way points back to Basecamp separately. AND they have to be careful to send them back to the same track list where they sent the track or they still do not appear in Basecamp with the track. I tried this on a short ride yesterday. I recorded a track as I rode and marked 7 way points during the ride. After the ride, I sent the track back to an empty track list in Basecamp. when I looked at the track list, the track was there, but no way points.
So the question is (are):
Is this a problem? SHOULD the way points come back to Basecamp with the track they were recorded with
Is this a matter of method, ie either HOW the way points are recorded or HOW they are sent back to Basecamp from the GPSr?
Or, is this a "feature" of Basecamp to keep the tracks and way points recorded with them separate for some reason?
Or, something else?
