Outlines to Object

I sometimes run into a problem where adding an Outline to an curve or object then making that Outline an object does something unwanted.  Trying the equivalent in Illustrator or sometimes Inkscape has different behavior.  I would like to understand what is the cause.  Here is a picture.

I would like to be able to get the Illustrator result from CorelDraw.

I see something similar on weld operations.  There changing the path's direction or selecting, "Fill winding," can help.  But here it does not help.

Here is the cdr.  https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/34207516/outlines.cdr  (X7)

In a discussion about this on another forum, one person had a gallery of examples.  Here is that gallery:  https://www.dropbox.com/sh/fco5s02obeztrxu/AAC3oyV48JmszM5JpKEHebuqa?dl=0

 

Any insights on what is occurring?
