Nope, you're not missing anything - currently to apply another inset on the same area again, you will need to make a new selection. If edges are getting in your way frequently when you're trying to do face selections, try to zoom in a bit and also turning off the hidden line display can help a lot for that, there is a checkbox for that in the View palette on the side pane.

re: "keep resulting faces selected" option - well I kind of hate to add in too many options to things, it tends to lead to a clogged up type feeling in the UI and makes it harder to browse through the main stuff.

I don't think there are any other commands that select sub-objects in their generated result, so it may be a bit tricky to add that in. If it were to do it by default, it could possibly cause some unwanted side effects, like possibly the workflow for this example here would become kind of different with deselections needed first:




So I'm not sure, I'd need to think about that for a bit.
