There is no bug on P6 with regard to LOE activities not resource leveling, it is by design of how the resource leveling algorithm works. Keep the assignment of resources at the LOE activity to model cost resources when not leveling cost components and physical resources only as idle resources. In this way you will see true resource demand as well as when idle. You can even assign different resource cost when idle.
I very rarely level cost components, it is more of a limitation to developers in their planning of multiple jobs who must schedule considering financial restrictions. The idea of software allowing you to resource load LOE activities when non leveling is not a bad idea.
Each software has their tricks, just find out the tricks within P6, find out how to model idle resources within P6, maybe it is easier than what you imagine.
The following print screen is from another software but perhaps can give you an idea.
