But this is not the answer to the more fundamental question. Why someone would want the underlying envelope to be removed?
If you move the inserted AI, you can see that the underlying envelope is ruined. The same happens also with the "Both sides" connection preference. Why would someone want that kind of unexpected destructive behavior?

Yes, it might be a bug it this special case, but there are many similar issues related to the same fundamental behavior.
Here is another example:
See also how the envelope shape is ruined in front of the AI where the curved segment started. The curved shape is changed to linear after AI is inserted. This, and many similar problems, would be easily solved by preserving the underlying envelope.
Edit: With "Both sides" connection mode, it is not so easy to solve this particular case. It might be impossible to make the curved envelope segment in front of the AI to be exactly the same as before inserting the AI. But with "Neither side" and "Right side" connection modes it should work if underlying envelope was preserved.
