PF> Odd.

PF> I tried adding them manually, the same thing happened.

PF> I noticed that the .NA file description was

PF> "Araknet: Area Description"

PF> "Area Description"

That doesn't sound like a bug, that sounds like sub-board collapsing.  Do you have that enabled?  Normally that's disabled by default..  In your DDMsgAreaChooser.cfg (or .example.cfg), check whether the useSubCollapsing is true or false.
