I believe there may be a workaround - it appears if you select the
entire object (not just the bottom thing you are manipulating with IK),
then force the key, you should get the proper interpolation.  If you are
doing things the way you ought to (moving the slider and wiggling the
end of the IK chain), the bug I described will cause problems just like
you describe.

Another thing that ought to help (with the current version) is when
setting the very first key, select the entire object before setting the
key.  That way when you move the slider it won't pick up the incorrect
interpolation type from the root of the object (which by default is
step).

I'll try to get corrected code posted in a day or so.
