If you provide a start date for a parent (or container) task, TJ assumes, this is a fixed date. It's certainly convenient, that this date gets inherited by all it's sub tasks as a lower boundary.
Once all the sub tasks have been scheduled, TJ determines the time frame of the container tasks. But it must respect any date that the user has given. I cannot shorten a container just because no sub tasks extends to this date.
The inherited milestone dependency solution is indeed an alternative. I agree that this results in some messy Gantt charts due to the many arrows. I've reworked the arrow routing algorithm yesterday. It's already in the SVN snapshot. You might want to give it a try.
Personally, I prefer to use the inherited start value and don't worry too much that the container tasks might be a bit bigger than needed.
