It's working as designed, but one might argue that the design choice was non-optimal.
This involves a fix for a problem in Notes 5, whereby if you replaced design with hiding but left the inherit changes option enabled, then the design task would unhide all your design elements later, while still making it appear that the design was securely hidden. It's very simple to unhide the design of such a database, so this was treated as a security issue.
The way that the development team chose to fix this, involved disabling the ability to produce a template with hidden design.
I can see that this ability would be handy for companies developing Notes applications as products. I have already so argued, but I myself am not a business partner developing products, so I can only use logic. I'm not in a position to make a persuasive business case for it.
If anyone who has run into this problem is attending Lotusphere, the Meet the Developers session would be a good time to bring this up to the people who make these decisions, and let them see how many people in the audience agree.
