Insert after jump expected behaviour

[willparsons]

After using an action like w,f,t the cursor moves to the appropriate place but pressing i moves the cursor back to where it was before the original move action.

Is this expected behaviour?

Yep that's the expected behavior: i inserts at the beginning of the selection. w/f/t and others create a selection that starts at the current cursor and extends to the word boundary (w) or typed character (f/t). You most likely want to append with a which inserts at the end of the selection and extends the selection to include the inserted text.
