Bah, my mistake - now I see it. It happens when you *edit* a route-map 
on a peer, but not when you first add the route-map.

This is seriously crummy; if you do this:

route-map TEST 10
   set community 65000:1
router bgp 65000
   neighbour 192.168.1.1 route-map TEST in
route-map TEST 5
   ! at this instant, the community disappears from the route!!!

This was not how I thought IOS was defined to behave. Can anyone confirm 
this?
