I don't know :)  Maybe because they don't fold like regular tasks.  I've
really only played with this feature a little and didn't find it
particularly useful for my needs.

Hmm I didn't know about this function.  I just make a regular task and
shift it to the right enough so that the stars change to indicate it's
inline (the few times I tried using it) ... so I had no end marker.
Someday I'll look at this again from a user-point-of-view.
