Event Custom Fields: When Event Type is hidden on Event Creation, it's not working.

Thanks to the super flexibility of Event Custom Fields I'm making my Event Create form as short and simple as possible for users...

...One thing I've done is set the EVENT TYPE (Open/Closed/Invite Only) to HIDDEN during CREATION (as per the back-end options allowing that).... It has the 'Open' radio button filled by default and so I assume that would be the applied Event Type... but when my users create events they are not getting classified as OPEN (in fact, maybe not classified as anything)... Is this a tiny glitch? Currently I have to open each event and re-save it to get it to show OPEN.

Thanks.
