I don't see why that should be so.
You should be able to do a create-instance referencing that node,
although it will be an "offline config" because it won't do anything
to set up the remote machine. A later create-local-instance would be
required on the remote machine.

Why wouldn't create-instance be usable to create additional instances
on that node?

Right, that shouldn't be the case. If that's the way it works now,
seems like something is wrong.
