Good catch, Larry!
Here's what little the help pdf has to say (my emphasis):
After instantiating Insight on a surround track
you may need to adjust the
channel configuration in Insight to match that of your DAW or session.
As a default Insight uses film channel configuration(L,C,R,Ls,Rs,LFE).
Other available configurations are SMPTE/ITU (L,R,C,LFE,Ls,Rs) and DTS
(L,R,Ls,Rs,C,LFE). You may adjust the channel configuration going into Insight
as well as the display order of meters from the I/O Options Tab.
Perhaps SONAR is identifying the master bus to the plugin as a Surround bus, which it isn't.
