BTW, this is not just BibDesk, this is in fact how bibtex works. Know that also bibtex has no internal information about fields and types. Only the bibtex styles know about types and fields, but inheriting fields is not done by the style, but more primitively by bibtex itself (and therefore could never use any type information.) Just look at the bibtex output (e.g. using the tex preview), you should note that the Title is inherited by the incollection from the book, but not the Booktitle, just as BibDesk does.
