Behavior when cloning soft synth track

I am using SONAR artist version.  I am by no means an expert on DAW software but the behavior I am observing when cloning a track is unexpected and for what I am doing, inconvenient.  The volume, mute, solo values of the cloned tracked are all linked to the original track ("Link to Original Clips(s)" is unselected).
 
DETAILS:
I start by creating a "NORMAL" project.  I created a track by right clicking in the track view, selecting "insert from track template" -> "soft synth track template" -> TTS-1 piano (or lush strings).  I record a measure or two from my keyboard and then I right click on the newly created track and click "clone track".  I unselect everything but "Clone Events" ("Link to Original Clips(s)" is unselected), and click ok. 
 
I expected I would get a single soft synth track that was identical (maybe with a (1) after the name or something like windows does if you copy a folder).  Instead, I get 2 additional tracks, an audio I think, and a soft synth with the copied notes in it.  Additionally, the created soft synth track's volume, mute, and solo (and maybe more, I dunno) features are all linked to the original clips.  For example, if I try to lower the volume of the created track, it also lowers the volume of the original track.
 
I've run into this twice now.  Once when I was to create a backup copy of a track to play with changing one of them, and next when I was trying to have 2 TTS-1 instruments play the same line (I wanted different volumes on the different instruments).  I can instead create a new synth track and copy the note/clip data over but the clone track behavior seemed strange enough to me I figured I'd ask about it.
