Suggested fix

It is not possible to create a shape using the palette inside a selected compartment on the diagram.  The new shape always appears on the diagram.

GEF's solution is to use copy/paste on a palette item, but in GMF we use the Enter key.

I have to revert this code.  As a result, it makes it too difficult for a user to add multiple shapes to a diagram using the ENTER key.  Each time a new shape is added, the shape gets selected, and thus the selection needs to be changed prior to adding another shape.  

I think the client needs to handle this in their code.  At the GMF level, we can't make assumptions about what should be the target container for the new shape.
