"Load" is a little tricky here, it means "load the core and open a searcher. The core _descriptor_ which is the internal structure of core.properties (plus some other info) _is_ loaded and is what's used to show the list of available cores. Else how would you even know the core existed?
It's not until you actually try to do anything (even click on the item in the "cores" drop-down) that the heavy-duty work of opening the core actually executes. So I think it's working as expected,. But do note that this whole area (transient cores, loading on startup true/false) is intended for stand-alone Solr and is unsupported in SolrCloud.
