However, the parent ID is never propogated to the child, and the requery sure enough does a table revert, eliminating the new record. Since this is obviously not the way things are intended to work (at least from my read on the docs), I am wondering if I missed a step somewhere, or this is a known bug?

Just because New Child on New Parent is checked, it won't automagically insert the ParentID in the child table, that's still your responsibility.
Of course, you then have to save it before the Requery() to be sure it survives.
