this is the way it always should have been. I dont know why Paul and co. 
implemented associations as part of the diagram, but this was a design flaw.
Associations are part of the Model.
A Diagram is only a "view" on that model, and the associations you see in the 
diagram should only reflect the associations in your model. if you have a 
class A which inherits from class B in your model, then you have the option 
to show this in the class diagram or not (maybe in your class diagram you 
have only class A but you decide to leave class B out) but this does not 
change anything in your model.
You cannot have a diagram with class B inheritng from class A  (well... now 
you can, but this is obviously wrong=)
