< Is this normal Utility Track behavior or am I missing something? >
Yes and yes...

It's normal and it's an improvement over Bar Settings muting/unmuting.

With the introduction of Utility Tracks, Muting and unmuting a Utility track audio is accomplished by using the Editor in the Audio Editor.
Highlight to select the audio region to be muted, open the editor button and select 'silence'.

It's an improvement because all of the other editing features are available. So volume changes and fade in's and out's and other features can be done within the BIAB program before being exported to a DAW. This is a better and more advanced 'arranging' feature than the Bar Settings are.

You can also mute/unmute measures of any track that will be recognized if that track is later moved to a Utility Track. Do this by selecting the first measure you want a mute to begin, open Bar settings, select the RealTracks Button, select the track to be muted, enter 1152 - Silence. Select the last Bar for the track to be muted, select the RealTracks Button, select the track to be unmuted, enter the original instrument RT number (ie: 2121 - Mandolin soloist) and exit out. Generate the track and the soloist instrument will mute and unmute and the appropriate measures that were edited in the RealTracks menu.

< They don't follow shots or holds either, I believe >
In testing this morning, audio moved to Utility Tracks did follow shots, holds and rests.
