Garmin HCx Vista here, and I can create a waypoint in an area without 
problems.  As with you the waypoint name defaults to the Garmin name of 
the existing feature (for example "Woods" for landuse=wood) but it can 
be edited.  The waypoint symbol defaults to the last-used waypoint 
symbol (as it normally does).
