DM 3.0.0.665 instead of triggers not generating DDL correctly

Question

There seems to be a bug in the DDL generation for manually created INSTEAD OF triggers on views. The INSTEAD OF trigger does not have the INSTEAD OF clause upon DDL generation. Instead, it has the BEFORE clause. It seems to be treating INSTEAD OF triggers as normal triggers. Note: When I reversed engineered a database that already had an INSTEAD OF trigger, it imported and generated DDL was fine. This bug shows itself when manually creating INSTEAD OF triggers.
Steps to replicate:
1. In any design that has a view.
2. In the physical model, find the view, expand it, right click to create Trigger for view
3. By definition, a trigger on a view can only be an instead of trigger.
4. The dialog box will have the 'Triggering time' showing as INSTEAD OF. You can't change it. (Which there is no reason to do anyway)
5. Generate DDL. When generating the DDL, the trigger will not be generated as INSTEAD OF, it will be generated as a BEFORE (INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE).
Included DDL generation from a simple database (I did not modify the DDL generated):
