Can't skip a node in lightweight tree

JonP

I'm using a lightweight tree with quite a few relationships betweens BOs. One of those BOs is a many-to-many relationship node that ends up duplicating a level (see "Functional Requirement 1" in the 1st pic). Of course I need to remove that duplicate and fortunately AIM anticipates this need. But when I untick "Display instances of the object in a tree" (2nd pic), that level and every level below it disappears (3rd pic). I tried unticking that checkbox for different BOs to see if any of them worked and the problem is consistent.

Has anyone succeeded with unticking "Display instances of the object in a tree" to skip a node? Is there a tip/trick you can pass along?

Has no one tried using that feature to skip nodes in lightweight trees? If you have one or more many-to-many relationships in the hierarchy, that would seem to be an essential feature.
