I don't know if I'm going to answer my own question, but I found a possible
argument for a "its by design."  The subsystems are designed as a separate
entity in the connection tree shown here.  I see that if you open any
subsystem to initiate the connection, then the "Object" subsystem
properties are run, meaning, I get the library list I specified.  So, I
think I could make the case that just starting the connection should do the
same thing.  I will open a PMR to get an official answer.

Subject:	[WDSCI-L] Connection library list inconsistencies
Sent by:	wdsci-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx
In RDI 9, If I right-click on a connection and hit 'Connect' the connection
is created with my user profile's default library list despite the settings
on the connection.  If I open the connection by navigating to a filter,
then the connection starts with the correct library list.  Do I need to
open a PMR, or is there a good reason for it being like this?
