Views does not create parent local task for a default local task

When choosing to create a default menu tab, Views provides an option to create a parent menu tab. However, there does not appear to be any logic on the backend to actually make this occur.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Edit the Content view (admin/structure/views/view/content/edit)
2. Add a new page display
3. Use path admin/content/test/one
4. Add a menu item entry with Type"Default tab" and Menu link title"Child"
5. For the Parent menu item, choose "Menu tab" with Menu link title"Parent"
6. Save the View
7. Visit admin/content expecting to see tab "Parent" appear. Scratch your head and curse the heavens because it's not there.
8. Visit admin/content/test and note that the route does exist. It's just the local tasks that haven't been created properly.
