Just found an interesting piece of unexpected behaviour when `ResourceOptions` is used to specify an existing resource ID (such as a VPC created default route table) instead of allowing a new one to be created: the resource doesn’t show up in the preview tree, and thus it’s children (as configured by `parent` on `ResourceOptions` get displayed as parented to the root node of the stack.

I can probably build a small reproducer for this if it’s not immediately obvious whether it’s intended behaviour or not

I believe I understand what's going on here - but if you have a repro and could open an issue that would be helpful.  If this issue is what I expect, it may be fixed with <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/pull/1578>.  /cc <@UB27BHS4B>.

Yes, that looks like it might be the issue. I’ll put together a minimal repro and open an issue for it.
