3. View the media library for Local Media
4. Observe the synched image now displays in Local Media

Images pulled across from the Global Media Library should not appear in the Local Media selection.

This is how AMF works / always has worked. The version in Local Media is the local reference to the external image. This is where you could make local edits to things like the caption etc.

As far as I'm aware it's the intended behaviour and not a bug.

OK, will change to an enhancement.

Also, I think we're the first people using the multiple provider support no? In a single provider world, AMF replaced the local library, so you couldn't see the duplicated images.

[roborourke]

That is a good point, I'd forgotten about that. Certainly complicates things.

From a default WP behaviour perspective it's much much easier to show it in the local library as the modal filter would have to be switched to the appropriate provider programmatically depending on the currently selected image/media.
