You might have found a bug in FB. This happened in the FB 1.5 process, where the FB developers did not realize extending Application was a valid action. Happily I caught it early and it was fixed in the 1.5 FB release. Many people are using "code behind". suggesting this is only an FB issue. Not that that makes it any better for you if you use design mode regularly!
