Version:           0.9.3 (using 3.5.9 "release 49.1" , openSUSE 11.0)
Compiler:          Target: x86_64-suse-linux

When you create a new album, Digikam will enter this new album. However there is nothing to see in the new album, because the new album is by definition empty. 

Therefore I propose that Digikam should not enter new albums after it has created them. Instead it should remain in the album where it was, when the creation of the new album was requested.

This new behavior would be quite helpful for my workflow: I create new albums when an album contains very many images. After creating the new album, I drag some photos into the new album. 
The current behavior is a little disruptive for this kind of workflow: After creating the new album, I have to locate the (source) album, where the many images are, for a second time. I also have to locate the images for a second time and most likely I have to scroll until I find the images because there are many images in the source album. Only then I can drag the images to their new location. This lengthy procedure can be a little frustrating if you want to split a big album into multiple smaller ones.
