Site Collection Administrators and Adding Workflows to Sites with Broken Inheritance

Another gotcha in the SharePoint world. You would think that Site Collection Administrators could do anything on any site inside the collection. Being an administrator and all. Not so. If you've broken inheritance you will find that you no longer have the correct options in SharePoint Designer to add a new workflow. For the meantime I have solved this by explicitly adding the "Site Collection Administrator" account into the "SiteName Owners" group - which was created when we broke inheritance. Not exactly the functionality I was expecting.
