Confirmed here (also in Master).

Though I do not use them that much, I think the behaviour should be the
same as 'normal' layers which (I think) is:
- add layer above current selected layer
- add layer in layer group if the current is a group (and make that
layer current)

I think it is worth to create an issue for this.
