Sub Panel and Tab Bug

I've run across an interesting bug. The picture below shows a VI running in a sub panel that has a tab control. The tab control in the sub panel vi is set to change the value (tab) to page 2. The controls of page 2 show in the tab, but the tab indicator indicates that it is page 1. If this vi is run outside of a sub panel, it works correctly. Showing Page Label Display shows the correct value.

Created and tested in LabVIEW 2009. I have not tested in other versions.

If you insert the VI in the subpanel then run it, it works just fine.

How do you insert a VI into the subpanel before executing? I'm not sure how this would help me though. I use subpanels for the express purpose of dynamically change the VI.

Swap the insert VI node with the Run VI node so that Insert VI comes first on the error wire, then the run VI.
