I understand the exchange manager works in two phases: receive by the OS, send to the destination. I guess this is because of it's origins beaming to another device. So after the app has sent the object, it never knows what happens to it. You are right that this makes the user experience a little less than perfect when sending to the local device, but AFAIK this is just how it works.
