I noticed the origin of a sketch that's created while creating a mesh section is not selectable. File's attached.

A Mesh Section is not really a true sketch until you edit it and use the Fit Curves to Mesh Section.  This is the way it was explained to me.  This command will add the sketch origin.  You cannot use the Mesh Section for anything unless you use this command on it anyway.

The sketch that contains the mesh section is a sketch and should work like any other, you can create any geometry in it but without the origin you can't fully constrain it. Of course you can project in the component origin.

Here's a screencast, shows after creating a curve with fit to mesh sections you can't constraint it to the origin. Pretty sure this used to work.
