This too is fixed in the latest CVS code. Also the auto-router creates lines that have the join flag consistent with the setting for newly created lines (although the auto-router will never place a line within a polygon, people seem to want to add polygons to layers that the auto-router has used after it's done its routing. Seems strange to me.)
