Yes, and that's what should happen, in spite of the asterisks.
Creating a stack is creating a stack.
The part that *might* be considered a bug is that saying

create stack "haha"

doesn't attach the new stack name until after the stack has been
created with a generic id name and the openstack handler has finished
executing.
