Because in addition to creating the object the IDE also selects it, and the selectionChanged message triggers the Inspector update just as it does when moving from a card that had been selected.
I wouldn't call the current behavior a bug; after all, for all long as it's been around it seems to have tripped up exactly one person. :)
But perhaps a feature request might be useful, so that the IDE would select any newly-created card.
There might be side-effects for card selection I'm not anticipating, and this request wouldn't affect things when navigating between existing cards. But if you feel strongly about not having to look at the Inspector's title bar when something seems inexplicable it may at least provide on specific workflow case where that may not be needed.
