This started with a practice session while flying, I was able to duplicate in the sim. I expect to be able to fly this type of flight plan in real life.

I see this as a real problem and not just an inconvenience like a lot of the bells and whistles. This one tosses all positive guidance and forces you to rebuild the flight plan.
When I was flying these practice approaches, I was being vectored all over for traffic. I told them I could just shoot the published approach (so I'd know what to expect) and that worked great for their timing. I'd hate to say "nevermind, I'm not sure what my GPS is doing, I'll need that vector now."
I simply don't don't believe the IAF from one approach should be moved to another approach's missed segment.
