Confusing and strange behavior when adding multiple images to node.

Drupal 6.4
Content Construction Kit (CCK) 6.x-2.0-rc7
ImageField 6.x-3.0-alpha2

I have a content type that includes an image field, and allows for unlimited images to be added.

The node edit screen defaults to one entry
I fill in the first entry and upload the image, no problem.

Now if I decide to add another at this point, and I click "Add Another Item", the one I already uploaded isn't saved since I haven't "saved" the node yet and it clears out the info I entered and presents TWO input forms

So now I have two entry forms, and I go ahead and upload two images, this time hitting "Save"...i go back to edit and they are in fact saved, and an additional entry form is presented. I enter the data, upload, hit save....

The last image is *not* saved.

What I have discovered is after saving the first two images and going back into edit, BEFORE I enter the info for the third image, I have to click "Add Another Item". This then presents me with two entry forms, I fill in one, save it, and voila...there are now three images....

Basically you ALWAYS have to have that "extra blank entry form" before saving, or your image wont save.

Anyone else run into this?
