Peer-to-Peer Relationship Requires Updating Twice?

When working with cross-discipline peer-to-peer relationships, specifically electrical/pneumatic relationships, I've noticed a quirk and I'm wondering if others have experienced this behavior.
I create an electrical schematic component (solenoid) and then on my pneumatic drawings I create a corresponding solenoid valve. I then edit the pneumatic component and use the "Tags Used: Schematic" approach to browse to the solenoid tag and copy that to the WDTAGALT attribute on the pneumatic component. This sets everything appropriately on the pneumatic component, copies over descriptions, etc., but I've noticed that I don't get the dialog box asking to update the corresponding electrical component (i.e. the Ok/Task/Skip option dialog). However, if I repeat this procedure a second time, I do get the dialog box to pop up, and once I hit Ok, the solenoid on the electrical side does get updated to show the WDTAGALT for the pneumatic component, and the peer-to-peer relationship seems to be established. I've tried this with multiple symbols and in multiple projects and it appears to behave the same way regardless.
Am I missing something here, or has anyone else encountered this? It seems like I should only have to do this once to establish the relationship and update everything accordingly.
