James, this is what I've found too. Perhaps I don't understand the proper setup method, but I tend to clean it up as well. Sometimes I get a FL value, others times the point adds with a zero altitude. (or two dep. airport waypoints, one with each altitude)
It may be a result of most times the route manager loads with the departure airport already listed. For the time being configure it to not load a depature airport on opening?
