No MIDI output to hardware synth when "Bypass FX Rack" enabled

Here's a strange one I'm running into:


1. Open a New Project.  (I used the SONAR-supplied template BASIC.CWT)

2. On the MIDI track, direct output to a Hardware Synth (I've tried with several different ones)

3. Hit a note to make sure it plays

4. Right-click in the FX rack and insert any simple midi plug-in (e.g SONAR's Transpose)

5. Hit a note to make sure it plays

6. Right-click in the FX rack and select "Bypass FX Rack"

7. Hit a note.  For me, it doesn't play; and my MIDI interface (MOTU midi express 128) shows no midi signal coming out from SONAR.


Problem does not occur with Software synths.  Problem does not occur if there is NO midi plug-in in the FX rack.

This is with Plantinum 2016.12.  Same results in 8.5.3.

Any ideas?

    You can get this to happen with a MIDI loopback device as well (I used LoopBe), looks like a MIDI track with a bypassed MIDI FX bin stops sending the MIDI out.  And that's with Platinum 2017.05.  I'd imagine if it was that was in 8.5.3 it must be by design.  Though I can't imagine what that design is. 
     
    Only seems to do it with live input, if you put a MIDI clip on the track it will play through the disabled FX Bin.  And you can record on that track, but their is no MIDI echo with the FX Bin bypassed from one MIDI device to another, even if everything is set to echo.
