Yes, this is as designed.  A ROS pattern should be replaced only
when someone saves a page, so that repeatedly hitting preview will
continue to show the non-replaced markup.

A ROE pattern should do the replacement when someone hits preview.
However, it should also do the replacement if someone never hits
preview -- i.e., if someone enters a ROE pattern and goes directly 
to save without hitting preview, then the replacement should 
still take place.
