Q: “There are no posts for this topic” when clicking an Outline item

Hello! I'm having a problem related to the course outline.

I have created an outline, two levels deep. When I create new Posts for the course, I can choose which Topic to associate them with — and I can only select Topics from the topmost level of my outline. I realize this is by design; Apple’s own documentation states that ‘You can only post to top-level topics in your outline.’

However, when I click on any of the second-level topics of my outline, I come to a page that says, “There are no posts for this topic.”

This behavior is strange, because in all the classes I've ever subscribed to in  iTunes U, clicking on a second-level topic in the outline takes you to the Topic Page of its parent. It causes a problem because when you click on any item in the outline that isn't top-level, it feels like youv come to a dead end in the course, but that's not true.

A bit hard to explain; see attached image.
