XIT/Split interaction?

Cortland Richmond-2
I suffered an emabrrassing lapse today while trying to work a DX station
"up." I set the A and B vfos for split operation and on transmit, the
frequency display changed as it should .But it turned out the rig didn't
After  a while I noticed I could hear the DX station while I was (I
thought) on the split side (and before it changed back).   Sheesh. Joined
the LID club.  I had left XIT on by mistake, and it was apparently
cancelling the split. Problem went away when I cancelled XIT.

Later, monitoring with a second receiver showed that was indeed happening.
I won't crawl away to 2 meter FM just yet (grin), but has anyone else noted
this?

Yes, that's why I don't use XIT :-)
