Why GC not using inserted primary key in custom callback_insert?

Hi everyone! I face with certain situation - when using custom callback_insert function  then after u just click Save (Not insert and back to list!)

GC shows two links - edit record and back to the list like popup messages, and link "edit record" not working!

 

Explanation:

 

In GC when u use custom callback_insert and return inserted id by yourself (or true, no matter, everything except false, what means error while inserting)

present some logic if u use custom insert
 

//in my version GC 1.4.2

//if not use custom callback insert
if($this->callback_insert === null)
{
   ..... some login and after inserting creates inserted ID like

   $insert_result =  $this->basic_model->db_insert($insert_data);

   if($insert_result !== false)
   {
	$insert_primary_key = $insert_result;  
    }
    else
    {
        return false;
    }
}
else //here custom callback insert
{
    $callback_return = call_user_func($this->callback_insert, $post_data);

    if($callback_return === false)
    {
       return false;
     }

}

//finally check if inserted primary key exist
if(isset($insert_primary_key))
  return $insert_primary_key;
     else
  return true;

How we see above $inserted_id only gets in usual case and in custom callback return TRUE!

So this true casting to 1 and adds to edit link so when u click it there is always edit record with ID = 1 what terrible wrong! Why just not check what user callback return?

Something like this after calling custom function for insert:

$callback_return = call_user_func($this->callback_insert, $post_data);

if($callback_return === false)
{
       return false;
}

//here we sure that this is not true so what this is? sure it can be only ID
elseif($callback_return !== true)
{
       $insert_primary_key =  $callback_return;
}

Maybe this all already resolve in some ways before i write this. Anyway thanks for atention:)
